Implicit Prejudice in Eight-Graders
This study examines the automatic activation of negative prejudices
towards Turks using a masked affective priming paradigm in a sample of
German adolescents (aged 13 to 15). Pictures of Turks and Germans were
used as masked primes; positive and negative adjectives conveying either
other-relevant valence (e.g., honest, evil) or possessor-relevant valence (e.g.,
talented, dull) were used as targets. Results revealed that both explicit
prejudices towards Turks living in Germany as well as prejudiced behaviour
in a virtual ball-tossing game are meaningfully related to automatic
prejudice activation. As expected, these correlations were found only for
priming indices based on other-relevant targets, thereby emphasising the
differentiation of implicit prejudice into (imputed) hostility and
depreciation
Group evaluations as self-group distancing:Ingroup typicality moderates evaluative intergroup bias in stigmatized groups
Outgroup favoritism among members of stigmatized groups can be seen as a form of self-group distancing. We examined how intergroup evaluations in stigmatized groups vary as a function of ingroup typicality. In Studies 1 and 2, Black participants (N = 125,915;N = 766) more strongly preferred light-skinned or White relative to dark-skinned or Black individuals the lighter their own skin tone. In Study 3, overweight participants (N = 147,540) more strongly preferred normal-weight relative to overweight individuals the lower their own body weight. In Study 4, participants with disabilities (N = 35,058) more strongly preferred non-disabled relative to disabled individuals the less visible they judged their own disability. Relationships between ingroup typicality and intergroup evaluations were at least partially mediated by ingroup identification (Studies 2 and 3). A meta-analysis across studies yielded an average effect size ofr= .12. Furthermore, higher ingroup typicality was related to both ingroup and outgroup evaluations. We discuss ingroup typicality as an individual constraint to self-group distancing among stigmatized group members and its relation to intergroup evaluations
CMS Invited Talk - "I'm the least sexist person..." - Why It is misleading and dangerous to believe that you are free of prejudice
In this talk, I will give a short introduction into social-cognitive research that investigates the underlying psychological processes of stereotyping, prejudiced evaluation and discriminatory behavior. Specifically, I will focus on automatic and impulsive responses that cause biases in social perception and judgement and explain how they impact our behavior.
