Document Summary
Categorization stereotype: identifying an object as a member of a category. Inferential stereotype: assuming an object possesses the characteristics that. They carry rich, vivid expectations of what category members are like. Perceived out group homogeneity effect: reduces/softens the variability within the outgroup making it easier to categorize, facilitating the ability to see our own group as different and ourselves as different from our group, sharpens between group differences. Demonstrate out group members have traits counter to the stereotypes (either positive or negative) Groups of equal status (within context setting) Behavior intended to cause harm to another (intent is really important) Hostile aggression: anger-based, goal is to cause pain. Instrumental aggression: injuring another as a means to an end other than harm. Frustration: any interference with goal directed behavior (external cue) Classification of behavior as a reaction to arousal, theories fairly explain hostile aggression.
