Document Summary
Beliefs that certain attributes are characteristics of members of particular groups. Attitude or affective response toward a group and its members. Negative or harmful behaviour directed towards members of a particular group. Based strictly on group membership, not individual characteristics. Brief, everyday, denigrating messages based on group membership. But privately, might still fee animosity, suspicion, or discomfort with a particular group. Unlikely to behave in a racist manner when it would be obvious. More likely to emerge if possible to justify or rationalize it. A chivalrous ideology marked by protectiveness and affection toward women who embrace conventional roles. Example: men mentioning their daughters when denouncing harry. Women need to be protected from these type of situations. Instead, it should be said that no one should be treated this way. Can allow people to hold into "hostile sexism" Paternalistic treatment can foster self-doubt in own abilities. Modern racism scale and attitudes towards blacks scale.
