STEREOTYPING:
3 components involved in process
of stereotyping -
a)CATEGORIZE TARGET => what group in (obvious, visual char M or F/race)
b)ATTRIBUTE SET CHAR. all INDIV. CATEGORY MEMBERS=> assume everyone in group has these things(all UI prof liberal)
c)ATTRIBUTE SET CHAR. any INDIV. CATEGORY=> that indiv. has those traits
MANY MISTAKES OCCUR!!!! -
STEREOTYPE:
cog. strategies result in
reconstruction social memories -
1. new info target bring to mind pre-existing, well- defined beliefs (sterotypes)
2. Stereotype initiates & guides process of remembering -look info. fits stereotypes
a)PREFERENTIAL SEARCH: seach past/ detail becomes relevant
b)FILL IN GAPS: w/ stereotypes you have (watch certian shows)
c)SELECTIVE REINTERP: know info/ interp it/ remember events that way -
SOCIAL DILEMMAS:
1. competition vs.
2. cooperation -
1. are striving for resources and goals
2. work together in group situaiton for same grade -
SOCIAL DILEMMAS:
deutsch findings cooperative
vs. competitive study -
-grades based on rank then less dependnecy/interest being respeted by other group members
- (-) group relations
- NOT ALL competitive or cooperative but BOTH -
SOCIAL DILEMMAS:
mixed- motive situation - -both cooperative and competitive working in groups
-
SOCIAL DILEMMAS:
Prisoners Dilemma Game
a mixed-motive situation - -have to decide if other person is in it to cooperate w/ you ro be comptetitive w/ you (decides outcome)
-
SOCIAL DILEMMAS:
lab situations social traps show -
-people get very greedy very quickly- clean out pool very fast
-think better get it quickly before everyone else does -
SOCIAL DILEMMAS:
factors help participants
escape social trap -
1.EXPERIENCE: understand situation - been in before
2.COMMUNICATION: talk about this before each drew -
SOCIAL DILEMMAS:
why communication
up confilict -
-not always able to bargin
(THREATS NOT USEFUL) -
SOCIAL DILEMMAS:
Deutsch and Krauss:
DESIGN -
SHOW WHAT COMMUNICATON CAN DO AND HOW THREATS UP CONFLICT
-each Ss has road and has destination
-get rewards base how fast get truck there
-one way road clearly shorter -
SOCIAL DILEMMAS:
Deutsch and Krauss:
PROCEDURE -
-get truck pt. A to pt. B
-Put IV = power to threaten
1)UNILATERAL THREAT: Acme given one gate block other
2)BILATERAL THREAT: both have gate
3)CONTROL: was no gate
(behavioral and verbal threats)
DV= earnings: .60 delivery, operating costs: .01/ sec
MAIN DV: profit/ loss -
SOCIAL DILEMMAS:
Deutsch and Krauss:
RESULTS -
1. control $1.00 profit
2. Unilateral threat: $2.03 loss
3. bilateral threat: $4.25 loss
-threats and weapons used if avaliable (esculated conflict) -
SOCIAL DILEMMAS:
"conflict spiral" - -every trial conflict esculates or gets bigger
-
SOCIAL DILEMMAS:
attributions contribute
conflict spiral -
-evil other
-they are responsible problems I am having
-*about competitor become bias -
SOCIAL DILEMMAS:
Roles:
1.commitment
2.entrapment
play in conflict spiral -
1. to particular strategy- defend actions
2. extreme commitment leads you to be trapt -
SOCIAL DILEMMAS:
arousal influence communications
during conflict situations -
-anxiety and tensions= everything ends being emotional display
-blame others/ hostile joking -
SOCIAL DILEMMAS:
norm of reciprocity
influence conflict -
-obligated to harm others harm you
(eye for an eye) -
SOCIAL DILEMMAS:
1. compromise
2. problem solving -
1.settlement of differences by arbitration or by consent reached by mutual concessions
2.to find a solution, explanation, or answer for a question raised for inquiry, consideration, or solution -
SOCIAL DILEMMAS:
strategies rebuild trust
btwn parties in conflict
(instil trust) -
1.COMMUNICATE: your intensions specific terms reference cooperation/ fairness
2.CREDIABILITY AND CONSISTENCY: back (1) w/ actual consistent behavior match words w/ behavior
3.TIT-FOR-TAT STRATEGY: encounter competition repond w/ cooperation they continue compete you start competition
(match them) -
SOCIAL DILEMMAS:
negotiation -
-inviolves reciprical communication process
-see both sides -
SOCIAL DILEMMAS:
functions 3rd party
intervention (6)
1-3 -
1.REFEREE: down hostility/ allow both sides express views orderly fashioon
(controlled enviornment)
2.CORRECT MISUNDERSTANDINGS: useful mend communication break down/ if things been made up clairity
3.ALLOW FACESAVING: get sides to conceid w/o being embarasses/ make concessions look reasonable -
SOCIAL DILEMMAS:
functions 3rd party
intervention (6)
4-6 -
4.OFFER ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS: find ways at least get them talking
5.MANIP ENVIRO: how seated/ time day/ setup agenda- START SMALL!
(reciprosity start going well)
6.PROVIDE GUIDANCE: how go about problem solving this issue -
SOCIAL DILEMMAS:
conflict always bad? -
-no, can stablilize group after
-conflict/ consequense any group interaction -
SOCIAL FACILITIZATION:
Define - -presense of others affect up indiv. performance
-
SOCIAL FACILITIZATION:
little research done
1940-1965 why? -
-theory not true thought!
-inconsistent Lit then -
SOCIAL FACILITIZATION:
meaning E=HxD
(learning theory) -
1.E = EXCITATORY POTENTIAL: performance # correct answeres/speed
2.H = HABIT: strength habit => dominant response/ well learned/
practiced
3.D = DRIVE: deprivation (results from)
ex: hungry/ generalized excitment
(x) = more -
SOCIAL FACILITIZATION:
drive effect performance
simple tasks -
-w/ others performance up
HARD TASK:
-arousal mult. against other things and deteriorate response correct responses not dominant to you
-performance impared -
SOCIAL FACILITIZATION:
Sum Zajonc's drive theory
basic pts. -
1. OTHERS PRESENT: drive theory
2.UP AROUSAL: when others present
(assumption 1 and 2)
3.w/ others performance up
HARD TASKS;
-arousal mult. against other things and derterioate response correct responses not diminat to you
-performance impaired -
SOCIAL FACILITIZATION:
Zajonc's cockroach
procedures -
-adult female cockroaches =>reward dark box when flood light goes on
-some easy task =>habitual
some hard task =>not well practiced
-manip. presense audiance
IV = task difficulty
DV = running speed -
SOCIAL FACILITIZATION:
Zajonc's cockroach
findings -
-found animals easy task did better w/ presense other than w/o
-complex presense other = up running time
-can be seen in humans as well -
SOCIAL FACILITIZATION:
mere presense others explain
social facilitization -
-simple presens others up drive
-species mates most important organism in our world
-species mates some what unpredictable -why uncertinaty up = up drive -
SOCIAL FACILITIZATION:
Smith et al. test
social facilitization
procedure -
-type name (easy task) presense others
-IV difficult task and audiance
easy = name only
hard = name backwards and (+) digits hearing at same time -
SOCIAL FACILITIZATION:
Smith et al. test
social facilitization
findings -
-simple presense others up drive
-mere presense complex:
-stress... others sometimes down arousal
-sometimes other induce social facilitization in eval. situations
-did not makkter if others see or hear you or not
Graph:
Eval. Mere Presents None -
SOCIAL FACILITIZATION:
learn drive perspective
explain social facilitization -
-others source learned drive up effect
-species mates up drive arousal assoc. w/ rewards and punishments
-DRIVE INDUCED THROUGH LEARNING!! -
SOCIAL FACILITIZATION:
Distract/conflict theory:
critical factor Soc. Facil.
effects -
-CONFLICT: presense others distraction inhances drive state attend action or audiance = more back and forth = conflict = up in drive
-any attn. conflit induces "social" facilitization effects -
SOCIAL FACILITIZATION:
Distract/conflict theory:
attn. conflict -
-OTHERS DISTRACTING: want to compare performance of others to yours = change to match theirs
-task distraction bother external and internal -
SOCIAL FACILITIZATION:
Non drive approaches:
summary self-awarness
theory account for Soc.
Facil. - -self conciousness difficult task - impare performance
-
SOCIAL FACILITIZATION:
Non drive approaches:
self presentation and
perception related to
Soc. Facil - -DIFFICULT TASK: audiance make you embarassasment and w/ drawl
-
SOCIAL FACILITIZATION:
Non drive approaches:
3 limitations self-related
explainations Soc. Facil -
1.requires at least 2 steps
-presense others one step
2.mirror and other people viewed as part of distraction
3.DONT WORK W/ ANIMALS!! -
AGGRESSION:
child respond when witness violence -
a)DISTRESS= watch agg.= cover eyes/ cry (variety of reactions)
b)IMITATION= adults done child models it (hit/fight)
c)more likely fight even mroe after watch 2nd time (cummulative effect) -
AGGRESSION:
how can excitation (initial transfer
to agg. behavior)transfer
faciclitate agg. -
have aversive experience up arousal => heart rate/BP => up agg.
ex: sprint to catch plane= fly off handel more -
AGGRESSION:
implications childhood exposure
violence has adult behavior -
-watch adults as an example (modeling)
-abused = abuse own children
-witness adults fighting more likely grown up more violent -
STEREOTYPE:
likely steps in
behavioral confirmation -
1.ANTICIPATE: anticipate interation/ think hostile then prepare for that
2.IMAGINE: what likely to happen (never met)
3.IMAGINED BEHAVIOR STEREOTYPE CONSISTENT: visualize their behaviors as consistent w/ stereotypes
4.IMAGINARY BEHAIVOR GUIDES OWN BEHAVIOR: may obtain response you imagined b/c you set it up to confirm what expected -
AGGRESSION:
mechanism explains effects
of agg. (relevan to agg. behavior)
cues -
-PRIMING = assoc w/ agg.
ex: prime agg. = beep horn!
-more cog. assissable => prime => agg. behavior -
AGGRESSION:
mechanism explains socialization
of aggression - -MODELING = see adults do this more accepted to them = use this behavior
-
GROUP POLARIZATION:
why risky shift known now as
group polarization - -group discussions are MORE EXTREME although NOT necessarly MORE RISKY
-
GROUP POLARIZATION:
steps risky shifs
study involves
(Moscovici and Zavalloni) -
1. fill out survey on own (w/ scale on it)
2. group discussions- either told make unanimous decision or not
3. post-group private assessment
-rate each individually again -
GROUP POLARIZATION:
Moscovici and Zavalloni
Findings - FOUND: higher ratings on ave after the group discussion than the indiv ratings
-
GROUP POLARIZATION:
role social comparison
in group polarization -
-social differentiate self due to attitude change
-memebers aware each other - competition occurs (suttle)= risk desirable direction = socially optimal be above ave = favorable extreme risk
-attitude change due to social comparison -
GROUP POLARIZATION:
Informational influence
source Group Polar. -
-groups set up exposure to persuasive argue - persuaded
-attitude change due to info. intergration
-hear something not throught about before -go in that direction (start out lean one way)
-recieve something new (all favor one way or another discuss info) -
GROUP POLARIZATION:
? both influence present
Group polarization to occur
1.social compare is sufficient
2.info influence is sufficient
3.which is more powerful -
1. dont need other/ either will work
-Blascovich the (black jack study)
-set up situation change betting practices based on group discussion
-examine effects see what other bet
-20 hands alone then 20 hands in group
1.alone 2.3person-concensus (talk)
3.own hands presense 2 others (no talk)
(2 & 3 group polarization) -
GROUP POLARIZATION:
prior condition must be met
GP to occur - learning one side before group discussion
-
STEREOTYPES:
1. STEROTYPES
2. PREJUDICE
3. DISCRIMINATION -
1. what think group like (+ or - belief) COGNATIVE!
2. emotional = feelings have about group memebers (-) AFFECTIVE!
3. how treat indiv. group members
-unfairly treated (insturmental -social approval) BEHAVIORAL!
ABC MODEL!!! -
AGGRESSION:
"weapons effect" -
-evidance sit weapon up agg.
-ex: desk has riffle on it (more likely shock subj) or fishing rod on it
-make agg. salient see gun -
AGGRESSION:
1. angry aggression
vs.
2. instrumental aggression -
1. response to angry affect
2. primary goal to overcome threat or gain resources -
AGGRESSION
1. disinhibition
2. deindividuation
3. alcohol to agg. behavior -
1. down inhibitors agg. behavior
2. more likely show agg.
-dont feel like indiv. in group
-lose track indiv. identity = down perception personal responsibility
3.less likely notice resasons why did what did make you angry
-less likely worry about retaliation and physical injury
-lead up level agg. when provoked -
COMBATING DISCRIMINATION:
Aronson's Jigsaw Class
involved -
-competition in the classroom : setup cooperative situation
-each given protion material 2 be learned

COMBATING DISCRIMINATION:
Sherif's
Robber's Cave Study:
Superordinate goals provided
(? influence intergroup hostility) -
-stage interuption water supply both bunk houses/ find movie projector together/ food truck wheel axle problem
-down conflict/ function together well (useful) -
COMBATING DISCRIMINATION:
Sherif's
Robber's Cave Study:
introduce "contact" or
"exposure" btwn groups -
-end histility expose themselve to each other/ contact inpleasnt enviro/ neutral
(NOT WORK : EFFECT INTERGROUP HOSTILITY) -
COMBATING DISCRIMINATION:
Sherif's
Robber's Cave Study:
manip. relations
btwn groups and intergroup
and intra group levels -
-formed intergroup competition/ hostility
-took on conflicting goals in competition
INTERGROUP AND INTRA GROUP LEVELS:
-hostility btwn groups developed
-moral w/in group developed -
COMBATING DISCRIMINATION:
Sherif's
Robber's Cave Study:
structure emerged
assigned groups -

-not cooperative in group disapproved of -
STEREOTYPE:
Shih, Pittinsky
and Ambady's Study:
Design and study -
Design: (fill out quesionnaire)
1.a)women identify slaien (think about gender=>prime)
b)asian identity salient (race=>prime)
c)no identity salient(no self identity)
STUDY:
2. DV- accuracy in responding math items - get right out of # tried
3. sample: 46 Asian Amer. women -
STEREOTYPE:
Shih, Pittinsky
and Ambady's Study:
PROCEDURE -
-identity manip.
-quanitative test
-demograh info -SAT MATH
-assissment for suspicion -
STEREOTYPE:
Shih, Pittinsky
and Ambady's Study:
RESULTS -
-PERFORMANCE: best=Asian identity salien 53% then 49% control and 43% women - do worse when women identiy salien on tests
-MOTIVATION:not affected => no diff.
-TALENTED Ss: SAT scores (750)- telented sample no effect stereotyping
-ACTIVATION WAS SUBTLE: no reson believe saw demand char. -
COMBATING DISCRIMINATION
Sum Jan Ellot's
"Discrimination Day"
Exercise -
-DAY 1: Brown eyes more intelligent than blue =>special privilages
Blue eyes=> colars wear/ sit back room
-made statements like brown eyes cleaner/smarter
-critical blue eye kids
DAY 2: Reversal roles blue and brown eyes -
COMBATING DISCRIMINATION:
Sum Jan Ellot's
"Discrimination Day" Exercise
effect prodedure on:
1. outgroup denigration
2. affect
3. performance -
1. name calling/ playground fights/ beat them up
2. child superior group =>great/ powerful (out group =>sad/down)
3. superior performance good and bad really bad performance -
COMBATING DISCRIMINATION:
Sum Jan Ellot's
"Discrimination Day" Exercise:
happened reversed roles - newly superior kids => somewhat milder toward outgroup/ still got even
-
AGGRESSION:
aggression - intentional harm some human being
-
AGGRESSION:
char. assoc. btwn 3 types
aversive (- arousal gone wrong)experiences (not responsible own
behavior)and agg. -
1.ATTACK:verbal/ physical =>invite retaliation
2.FRUSTRATION: self goal = barrier =>up possibility agg/ know why frustrated- situation- peers put there/ down agg. function frustration
3.ENVIRO CONTITIONS: enviro cues prime agg. / temp outside/ crowding/ offersive odors/ violent crimes occur = hot summer day -
COMBATING DISCRIMINATION:
phrases involved
inoculation training -
a)CONCEPTULAIZATION: edu. people info particular setting=> discrimination (experience)
