PSYC12H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 3: Implicit-Association Test, Mahzarin Banaji, Ingroups And Outgroups
Document Summary
Toward the end of the 1980s, researchers began to take a closer look at the influence of affect on cognitive processes. Zanna and rempel (1988): attitudes toward different attitude objects might be more or less determined by affective, rather than cognitive, sources. Bodenhausen (1993): introduced the distinction between: incidental affect: affect that arises in situations unrelated to the intergroup context, integral affect: affect that originates within the intergroup situation and involves the stereotyped outgroup. This type of affect can also arise from merely thinking about the outgroup: limitations: few studies have examined the influence of integral affect on judgements of members of stereotyped outgroups. Chronic outgroup affect: one"s stable feeling toward the outgroup. Episodic outgroup affect: one"s affective reaction to a specific member of the outgroup. Attitude object: any idea, object, or person about which one forms an attitude. Anxiety has a disruptive effect on the behaviours, thoughts, and feelings of the outgroup member and the perceiver.
