PSY323H1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Ingroups And Outgroups
Document Summary
Stereotype is the cognitive (traits and attributes). The more mental processes you do, the more automatic it becomes. The more you look like a man or women, the more people expect you to act masculine or feminine. People used social roles to make assumptions about these people. Competence means respect and warmth means liking so men are respected and women are liked. When people are given a list they know they have to classify it so they will forcefully do it. If you ask people to say 10 traits then you can see whether there is communality of how people think. Self-generated list with self-generated evaluations of their own list. Ohe thinking out-group people are all the same and that everyone in the in-group are unique.
