Re-Cap: The Power of The Social Situation

 Social Psychology Social Relations How do we relate to one another?

 Social Psychology Social Relations Prejudice – an unjustifiable attitude toward a group and its members

 Social Psychology Social Relations Discrimination – an unjustifiable negative behavior toward a group and its members

How Prejudiced Are People?

Automatic prejudice – People view a White or Black face, immediately followed by a gun or hand tool, which is then followed by a mask.

How Prejudiced Are People? Automatic prejudice – Participants are more likely to misperceive a tool as a gun when it was preceded by a Black face than by a White face.

Social Roots of Prejudice Social inequalities – When resources are unequally distributed, the “haves” develop attitudes that justify things as they are. For example, slave owners developed attitudes about slaves that “justified” their enslavement.

Social Roots of Prejudice Ingroup and Outgroup – People with whom we share a common identity (ingroup) and people who we perceive as different or apart (outgroup).

If a group is like-minded, discussion strengthens its prevailing opinions. Talking over racial issues increased prejudice in a high-prejudice group and decreased it in a low-prejudice group.

Emotional Roots of Prejudice Scapegoat theory – the theory that prejudice offers an outlet for anger by providing someone to blame.

Cognitive Roots of Prejudice Categorization – our tendency to underestimate similarities between individuals in our own groups, but to overestimate similarities between individuals in other groups. Credit: VizCogLab/University of Victoria
