1. + WARM UP Have you ever been discriminated against? If so, what was the situation?

2. + Social Psychology Prejudice and Stereotyping

3. + Preassessment Thumbs up for True Thumbs down for False

4. + Discrimination and prejudice are interchangeable words

5. + FALSE Discrimination requires an action; prejudice is a belief

6. + A person will answer questions incorrectly that he/she knows are incorrect simply to follow the group

7. + TRUE Asch’s conformity tests showed that overwhelmingly, people follow the group even when they know the answer is wrong.

8. + Anyone can be taught to hate anyone else

9. + True The Robber’s Cave experiment showed that children who were identical in SES and had basically the same home lives, who were divided at random, could learn to hate one another.

10. + Usually, if someone gives us something, we are more likely to feel lucky than obligated to return the favor.

11. + FALSE It’s called the “Rule of Reciprocity” and it’s how a lot of salespeople get us to buy their product. Through guilt.

12. + Everyone judges everyone

13. + TRUE When you first see people, you judge people on your perceptions and how you think they should act.

14. + If we see someone in danger that we don’t know, most of us are likely to help them.

15. + FALSE It’s called the bystander effect: In a large group, we assume others will help, so we do nothing.

16. + Women are more likely than men to follow orders from a man to hurt another person.

17. + FALSE In Milgram’s experiment, women were much more inclined to stop hurting another person even though an authority figure told them to do so.

18. + Lesson Essential Questions 1. What is the difference between stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination? 2. Why do we treat people in our out-group differently than people in our in-group? 3. How does implicit racism relate to stereotypes and prejudice?

19. + Stereotypes We all have different ideas about what members of different groups are like, and these expectations may influence the way we interact with members of these groups. These ideas are called stereotypes.

20. + Stereotypes Are stereotypes true or false? What are some stereotypes you have about: Businessmen The person working at McDonald’s School teachers Seniors in high school Sports players Doctors

21. + Stereotypes How might one of these stereotypes affect the way you act around these certain people? How might one of these stereotypes affect the way you think about these certain people?

22. +

23. + Prejudice A Prejudice is an undeserved, usually negative, attitude toward a group of people.

24. + Stop and Think What is the difference between a stereotype and a prejudice? Use an example if that helps.

25. + Discrimination Discrimination involves an action against a particular person or group. What are some examples throughout history?

26. + Stop and Think On your paper, draw your interpretation of “PREJUDICE” and draw your interpretation of “DISCRIMINATION”

27. + Stereotype threat “A phenomenon which occurs when members of a particular group fear that they will be evaluated in terms of a negative stereotype about their group.” In a study, females took a difficult math test that was described in advanced as producing gender differences. Their scores were lower than their male counterparts. When another group were told the same test DID NOT produce gender differences, they performed as well as their male counterparts.

28. + Stereotype Threat: What do you think happened? Black/whites on a “problem solving task” versus a task that measure “intellectual abilities” Negative stereotypes about older people forgetting versus No comments versus Positive stereotype about older people being wise while taking a MEMORY TEST Poor/rich students on a test reflecting intellectual ability versus a test NOT reflecting intellectual ability

29. + In Group The social group to which we belong Make a list of people who are in your “in group”

30. + In Group In-group bias—tendency to make favorable attributions for members of our in-group Ethnocentrism is one type of in-group bias

31. + Our fellow Americans and Christians are good and righteous, while those Middle-Easterners and Muslims are bad.

32. + Out Group Out-group—the social group to which you do not belong Make a list of people who are in your “Out Group”

33. + Groups in schools How do you organize yourselves in school? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB6rE2T8Nko http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ga4Zr7P25o0

34. + Robber’s Cave Experiment A group of boys were separated in a camp: 11 in one group and 11 in another. From the onset of the experiment, they separated the two. The only times they saw the other group was when they were competing in sports events. Soon, the boys began to ransack the others’ camps, they began fighting and getting violent.

35. + Robber’s Cave The experimenters knew they had to do something to get the boys to not hate each other. What do you think they did? What would you do if you were the experimenter?

36. + Robber’s Cave They put them in the same cafeterias to try to get them to begin seeing their similarities That didn’t really work So, the experimenters started sabotaging things so the boys would have to WORK TOGETHER. Even today, the idea of a common enemy can bring together many groups of people who usually differ. World Peace when there is an enemy alien???

37. + Out-group Homogeneity Effect Let’s try an experiment of our own… I’m going to show you two pictures in succession. Your job is to write down every detail you can remember that is DIFFERENT about the two pictures after I have shown them.

38. + Picture 1

39. + Picture 2

40. + WRITE

41. + Picture 1

42. + Picture 2

43. + WRITE

44. + Picture 1

45. + Picture 2

46. + WRITE

47. + Let’s look at our data: Count up how many differences you had for each picture. Label each set of pictures as either “in group” or “out group” for you.

48. + So…. What is the Out-Group Homogeneity Effect? There have been plenty of studies on the topic. Best results have been with students who are hardly exposed to people who look different than themselves. What do you think the results were for biracial individuals?

49. + Out group homogeneity effect—tendency to see members of the out-group as more similar to each other IE. All blacks are this, and all Indians are that. But when talking about whites, there is a vast amount of differences. We generalize about groups that we are not a part of, and distinguish between members of groups that we are a part of.
