PSYC 6 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Kate Winslet, Lucy Liu, Gordon Allport
Document Summary
Status = your relative standing in a group hierarchy. We develop mental shortcuts called schemas that facilitate the ease of perception. These are called stereotypes when applied to groups. Generalizations about the characteristics of the members of groups. Assumptions that ignore actual variation and may be applied erroneously to streamline our navigation through everyday life. Attitude and/or emotional response towards individuals based solely on their membership in a particular group. Negative or harmful action towards individuals based solely on their group membership. Teen wolf: white male and asian female have sexual scene at the start of the show. Omg it"s so amazing, i"m getting so hot. They had a black male and a white male kissing, gay male make out scene that was interracial. Knowing what the stereotypes are does not mean you are going to discriminate. We have this knowledge of consensual stereotypes does not predict discrimination.
