  1. Prejudice

  2. Basics • What is prejudice? Prej vs. stereotypes vs. discrimination • Does it have to be negative? • Does it have to be held by high status group? • Is it implicit or explicit or both? (IAT?) • How can it be measured?

  3. What causes prejudice? • Dual process models (Devine, 1989) • Modern vs. aversive racism • Motivational approaches • Cognitive approaches • Evolutionary approaches • Individual difference approaches • Automaticity

  4. Effects on those stigmatized • Stereotype threat (Steele, Aronson, others) • System justification (Jost, others)

  5. Intergroup relations • How is this similar and different from research on prejudice?

  6. Social identity theory (Tajfel & Turner) • Vs. self-categorization theory • What does the theory suggest? • Minimal group paradigm (Tajfel, 1970) • What are our social identities? What determines what is salient? • What do these social identities do for us? • How can we deal with a negative social identity? What determines choice? • Brewer’s Optimal Distinctiveness Theory

  7. Threat theories • Realistic group conflict theory (Sherif, 1966) • Robber’s Cave study • Integrated threat theory (Stephan & Stephan, 2000) • Realistic threats • Symbolic threats • Intergroup anxiety • Negative stereotypes • Intergroup emotions theory (Smith, 1993) • Fear, disgust, contempt, anger, jealousy • Cuddy, Fiske, & Glick, 2008: status and competition (competence and warmth)

  8. JSM Model (Crandall & Eshleman, 2003) • What is their view of prejudice? • What is “genuine prejudice”? Is it an implicit attitude? • What is new in this model? • Is this a Freudian theory? • What factors lead to GP? • Do we know what our real levels of GP are? • What is the role/effect of education? Group affiliation? • Is there a prejudiced person, or many prejudices? • What are the implications for prejudice reduction?

  9. Suppression • How can you test for suppression? • What are sources of suppression? • What makes it harder? • How can we make it easier?

  10. Justifications • What are they? • Examples • Status quo • Social hierarchy • Attributions • Covering • Beliefs • Intergroup processes • What is the difference between justification and suppression? Table 1

  11. Integrated Model of Prejudice (Dovidio & Gaertner, 1998) • Research by Nail and Harton • Liberals vs. conservatives • Modern vs. Aversive racism • How does this fit in with aversive racism article and JSM?

  12. Penner, Dovidio, West, Gaertner, Albrecht, Dailey, & Markova, 2010 • What was the purpose of the study? • What is aversive racism? • Any surprising findings? • Main findings? • Implications?

  13. Evolutionary approach (Schaller & Neuberg, 2013) • How should people approach evolutionary hypotheses? • What is the function of prejudice, according to these authors? • Why do we automatically distinguish in and out groups? • For whom and when should it be higher? • Do we use the same cues for threat as in our Pleistocene past? • What effects does the threat have on us? • Why should we fear outsiders?

  14. From Neuberg & Cottrell, 2006

  15. What types of evidence do they provide? • Why should the moderators involved have an effect? • How does being a minority vs. majority (framing) affect threat responses? • Should it be stronger for men or women? • PriyankaJoshi thesis

  16. Disease • What is the “behavioral immune system”? • Tom Dirth thesis • Neal Pollack thesis • Sample studies • Faces • Ageism • Physical disability • Fat • Foreigners • Gay men • Moderators

  17. Overall • What does the evolutionary approach add? • How do they reconcile this approach with RWA/SDO? • What are the implications of this approach for prejudice reduction? • So if there were no more disease or crime, would everything be hunky-dorey?

  18. Contact • Contact hypothesis (Allport, 1954) • Need what? • How likely/common are these conditions? • When is contact bad? • Decategorization vs. recat vs. mutual differentiation vs. nested or cross-cutting identities—what should be our goal? • Common in-group identity model (Gaertner & Dovidio, 2000)

  19. How can it be reduced? (other ways) • Perspective taking (Todd) • Make people aware of biases • Contact • Motivation to suppress prejudice (Devine and others)
