  1. Stereotyping

  2. Robber’s Cave • Minimal Group paradigm • We can divide people into arbitrary, meaningless groups and still find that these groups have an effect on attitude/behavior • Divided boy scouts into two separate groups, watched their behavior. • Participants are shown to favor their own group while derogating the outgroup

  3. Social Identity Theory • When we categorize into ingroup/outgroup, it changes the way we see each other • Favor ingroup, while disfavor outgroup • Strong self-concept • If we want to feel good and secure about our self-concept, it makes sense that we need to see the groups we are in (and identify with) as good

  4. Stereotyping • Stereotype – thought about specific types of individuals or certain ways of doing things, that may not reflect reality. An impression. • Prejudice – affective judgments about another • Discrimination – behavioral component of prejudicial reactions.

  5. Stereotypes • Can be a cognitive filter • Used for justifications • Used to differentiate and self-categorize • Illusory correlation – when two rarely occuring events happen at the same time, people overestimate their likelihood of co-occurring

  6. Stereotypes • Are automatic • Participants primed with black faces are more likely to make attributions about hostility • Participants faster to shoot armed black faces and slower to shoot unarmed white faces

  7. Stereotype Threat • When people are aware of a negative stereotype about their group and experience anxiety or concern about fulfilling that stereotype

  8. Self-fulfilling Prophecy • Stereotypes lead people to expect certain actions from a stereotyped group. Those expectations prompt the stereotyped person to act in stereotype-specific ways, confirming the stereotype.
