Document Summary
Conformity and obedience: different studies we will look into later on in the night. Effects of physical appearance: if you are attractive (whatever the definition it is in your society), research shows that you ahead of the game. Criminals who are attractive will get lighter sentences. Cognitive schemas: we are prone to categorize people, piaget we like to form cognitive schemas because it helps is organize information, when we form schemas, we are endangered of forming stereotypes. Prejudice and discrimination: prejudice is the attitudes, discrimination is the actual behaviours against someone. Subjectivity in person perception: once we get a first impression and create a prejudice, we tend to look for aspects of the person to add information to consist with our stereotype our schema for that person. Internal is to do with person if they do well on the exam they studied hard and they have high motivation makes them accountable and responsible.
