I CAN Explain and differentiate the cognitive attributions List and describe the 5 causes of prejudice Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Cognitive attributions are Cognitive explanations we make for behavior…our own and others There are 2 of these: fundamental attribution error and self-serving bias Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

1. Fundamental Attribution Error Tendency to emphasize internal reasons for behavior (dispositions) and ignore external reasons (situations). In other words, people have a tendency to assume that a person's actions depend on what "kind" of person that person is… … rather than on the social and environmental forces influencing the person.

2. Self-Serving Bias Attributional pattern in which one takes credit for success but denies responsibility for failure Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Prejudice and Discrimination Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Prejudice A negative attitude toward an individual based solely on his or her membership in a particular group.

Discrimination A negative action taken against an individual as a result of his or her group membership…. Or… A preconceived belief, opinion, or judgment made without ascertaining the facts. Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Causes of Prejudice In-Group The group with which an individual identifies. Out-Group Those outside of the group an individual identifies with. Social Distance The perceived difference or similarity between oneself and another person. Distancing yourself from someone who you see as unlike those in your in-group…easier to treat them poorly. 1. Dissimilarity and Social Distance

Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 Causes of Prejudice 3. Scapegoating Blaming someone else for one’s own problems

Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 Causes of Prejudice 4. Conformity to Social Norms The tendency to maintain conditions the way they are…even if they are unfair. For example, male CEOs (Heads of corporations) are the norm, so it’s more difficult for a female to become one.

Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 Causes of Prejudice 5. Media Stereotypes When the media (films, tv, print, etc ) depicts stereotyped images of certain groups, it reinforces prejudicial social norms.
