Behavioral indecision: Effects of self-focus on automatic behavior

In this study, we tested the hypothesis that heightened self-focus would eliminate effects of stereotype activation on overt behavior. Our hypothesis was derived from the literature on conscious attention and self-focus and on recent treatments of action control. Specifically, our hypothesis was based on the notion that self-focus makes alternative behavioral cues salient and that this would lead to active inhibition of the stereotype and its effects on behavior. Indeed, results of two experiments showed that heightened self-focus overrides behavioral effects of stereotype activation. These findings were obtained with different stereotypes, priming techniques, and behavioral measures. Consciousness..,undermines the lawful, predictable nature of human behavior and produces a situation of relative indeterminacy (Baumeister & Sommer, 1997, p. 75)

Social categorisation as a function of relative group size

Item does not contain fulltextThe present study investigates effects of numerical group composition on categorization and individual recall of group members in a name-matching paradigm. Relative group size was independently varied for sex (male minority, equal sex groups, female minority) and academic status (teacher minority, equal academic groups, student minority). The results show that, overall, sex and academic status were used to categorize the stimulus persons, and that the male female categorization was stronger than the student teacher categorization. Furthermore, across the stimulus groups studied (males, females, students, teachers), members of minority groups were (a) categorized to a larger extent than members of majority groups and (b) better individually recalled than members of majority groups. In addition, the overall use of the male female categorization was stronger when the size of the sex groups was equal than it was, on average, when the size of these groups was unequal. The results are discussed in terms of theories about category salience and perception of group members

Capacity and comprehension: Spontaneous stereotyping under cognitive load

Contains fulltext : 63883.pdf (publisher's version ) (Open Access)People tend to make spontaneous trait inferences (STIs) when confronted with the behavior of others. Recent research has demonstrated that these STIs may be moderated by contextual cues such as stereotypic category labels. The central aim of the current research was to investigate the role of cognitive resources in this process. Two experiments were performed in which STIs were measured using a probe recognition paradigm under low or high cognitive load. Under high cognitive load, STIs were less likely for stereotype-inconsistent than stereotype-consistent behaviors. Compared to baseline, STIs for inconsistent behaviors were less strong under high cognitive load. Under low-load, no differences in STIs as a function of stereotypes were found. These findings support the idea that stereotypes are especially likely to affect STIs when resources are low.18 p
