Document Summary
A cooperative learning method, interracial groups work together. Social outcomes: more positive attitudes toward out-group. Academic outcomes: improvement for minority, no change for majority. Kids would need each other in order to do well. Common ingroup identity model: prejudice will be decreased if people view themselves. Ingroups and outgroups can shift as members of the same social identity. Canadians are all different but seen each other as canadians makes us come together. Thinking about bigger groups can break down distinctions. Attitudes toward specific groups can change fairly dramatically in a generation. People look to their social groups: subjective norms. Legislation against hate speech, unequal treatment, hostile environments; over time, can become internalized. Motives for overcoming prejudice (plant and devine, 1998) Based on a personal belief that prejudice is wrong. Sample item: because of my personal values, i believe that using stereotypes about people is wrong. Sample item: i try to act non-prejudiced because of pressure from others.
