Midterm 1 - Videos Flashcards
what is a collective autonomy threat?
People experience “collective autonomy restriction” when they believe other groups want to restrict their own group from freely expressing its social identity and determining its behavior
do only low status people feel autonomy threat?
no
what do autonomy threats motivate?
motivate you to try to keep your status as a group in the hierarchy
what did Frank use initially? did it work?
vignette - no (not believable enough)
what is the construct that Frank was trying to develop with his simulation?
“is my group free to create, define, and express their identity using this theoretical point?” (autonomy!)
what did people do in Frank’s study?
groups had to create “coat of arms” paradigm –> picked this to reflect parts of their identity
then, to express identity, used videotape avatars (supposed to reflect the coat of arms created)
what did Frank manipulate in his study?
high-power groups could change others avatars
what is the limitation of Frank’s study?
cant be as meaningful as real life identity
Frank’s working on a new study – what is it abt ? explain
what would happen if hierarchy reverses
what does Derek brown study?
how inequality is created and maintained between groups and within organizations
What is the google manifesto?
“diversity is harming us” (what Derek brown is investigating)
Derek Brown first study
2 groups: 1 gets an advantage, or its a win-win or its a lose-lose
takeaway: people in advantage group ignores what equality is trying to do (they want to preserve the advantage to their in-group)
individual differences aren’t predictive of feeling advantaged
Derek Brown second study
presented win-win/lose-lose equality policies jointly to try to get ppl to make more balanced judgements
didn’t change misperception that equality would harm advantaged group
What does Sa-Kiera study?
maintenance, formation, intersections of hierarchies
according to Sa-kiera, everyone who disagrees on SDO scales comprises two types of people? which ones?
people who are being conditioned to disagree and those who intrinsically believe there shouldn’t be hierarchies
Sa-Kiera’s research on SDO and empathy
- SDO linked to how you feel but not how you think other would feel (so ppl high in SDO can recognize emotions in others and don’t just lack ability)
- when ppl could pick what emotion to feel toward low status target, ppl high in SDO didn’t pick empathy
- SO lack of empathy and increased counter empathy toward outgroups seems to be motivated (its about lack of motivation not abilities)
according to chadly stern, how is stereotyping and SDO related?
diff motivations (ie SDO) could correspond to stereotyping in terms of trait attributes
high SDO and need for structure both motivate agreeing w stereotypes
Chadly Stern on miscomfort and false positives (categorization)
- bias to NOT include ppl in ingroup unless overwhelming evidence
- conservatives might have more neg rxn to categorizing a minority into their group
- liberals might be uncomfy for diff reasons (maybe bc they were wrong, maybe bc they wrongly categorized someone as lower status than they rly are)
Chadly Stern definition of conservativism
resistant to change (or support change that brings us backward in time)
Chadly stern definition of liberalism
pro novel change
According to Chadly Stern, we can always organize diff parties/ideologies along a spectrum of extent to which ppl support or oppose _________.
novel change!
What does Kate Ratliff hope ppl get out of taking the IAT
- learn ab implicit bias
- understand that good ppl have it within them to be biased and discriminatory
- get to experience science!
Kate Ratliff hopes to use IAT to educate people about implicit bias in ways that __________ while ________
keep defensiveness low; making ppl accountable for the biases they have
According to Kate Ratliff, implicit biases are ______ we have between _____ and ______
associations between attitudes and certain stimuli
Kate Ratliff on IAT and un/conscious bias
- IAT doesn’t tap into deep unconscious/true self
- we are all a little aware of these biases, just can’t necessarily control them!
Defensiveness and the IAT
- avg score 2.5/4
- comes across in 2 types of items: derogating IAT/science or derogating implicit bias
According to Kate Ratliff, ppl who feel _____ after taking the IAT are more likely to actually change their behaviour.
guilty
Conditions David Schindler argues allowed for positive attitude change from exposure to Black US troops in UK in WWII
- Americans came as friends helping for a joint cause
- common enemy/goal
- support from US and UK governments
- equal status (in part bc Black soldiers had higher status in UK vs US South, UK ppl didn’t like white soldiers bc they were annoying w big egos and white ppl suck)
David Schindler and methods of intergenerational transmission of racial attitudes
- parents to kids
- neighbourhoods; geographic sorting (ppl high prejudice don’t want to go to areas known for low prejudice)
David Schindler says it would be hard to establish the same kinds of effects as he did with his archival WWII study today because of ________
globalization! (more factors at play)
How did Linda Zou originally come to develop the racial position model
- wanted to look at inter-minority interactions
- first had to look at dimensions through which we see/categorize racial groups
Does Linda Zou’s racial position model apply to other contexts or constructs?
- yes, it might (but currently US specific)
- has done some work on women in STEM w model
- might apply to religion too
- doesn’t apply to age (who would be foreign??)
How does Linda Zou use the double jeopardy hypothesis to explain the lack of gender effects in her results?
- DJH: women lower status, men subject of more prejudice
- might cancel each other out!
According to Linda Zou, which dimension of discrimination (in the racial position model) is seen as more acceptable?
foreign/american
Explain Linda Zou’s research on her model and hiring of minorities
- ppl match minorities to jobs that fit their place on model
- asians for more high status jobs
- black ppl for more “american” jobs (ie politics)
