Document Summary
Behavior arises from continuum from personal to group self-concept. Eiler claims that racism is based on a difference in status/power. Group interactions influenced by good/bad nature of relation between them. Standing of the groups status & power matters. For a stereotype to influence, a person must be recognized as a member of a group. Race and sex are used immediately in interaction (categorization) Realistic conflict theory: the way intergroup relations emerge is the product of the trajectory between group and other group and an understanding of the relative positions of each. Warmth and competence as fundamental social perception dimensions. Metastereotypes: stereotypes that other people hold about groups i belong to. Dispersion: spread of feature in group (widespread or not) Categorization reduces perceived spread within and increases perceived differences between groups (like doing an anova in you head) Outgroup homogeneity outgroup members are all the same (increases when outgroups are threatening to the group)
