The studies contained in this database evaluate interventions that aim to reduce some form of prejudice. To compile these studies, "...we used a definition of prejudice that would encompass standard usage by researchers working in this domain: Prejudice is animus, or negative bias, toward social groups and their putative members. To be selected, the studies also needed to research an intervention that in some way sought to reduce prejudice as a psychological predisposition or its expression in behavior or behavioral intentions" (Paluck, Porat, Clark, & Green, 2021). There are notable exceptions to our coverage: Studies on gender-based prejudice (with the exception of studies about prejudice toward transgender and genderqueer people) Intergroup bias not rooted in animus, e.g. political bias, inter-university rivalries. Studies that focus on the effects of prejudice on its targets. Studies whose outcomes are focused solely on policy outcomes. AuthorTitleTypeYear #ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 559 Publications #InviteMe: Can social media information reduce discrimination? Evidence from a field experiment Raphael Moritz, Christian Manger, Kerstin Pull 2023 We study whether and to what extent social media information can reduce (ethnic) discrimination in a two-sided market characterized by asymmetric information. We analyze whether information that breaks with prevailing ethnic stereotypes might induce the uninformed side of the market to update its probabilistic beliefs on a desired, but hidden… The acceptance of information into attitude structure Helen Peak, William Morrison 1958 This study examines the relation between attitude position and the acceptance of information. 169 college students served as Ss. The experimental group listened to arguments about racial segregation in a manner intended to produce involvement in the situation while the control group spent time with tasks unrelated to segregation. Attitudes… Acknowledging the Skeletons in Our Closet: Collective Guilt and Ingroup-Affirmation Gregory Gunn 2009 Just as people defend against threats to personal identity, they also defend against threats to social identity. In the context of intergroup transgression, the defensiveness against social identity threat has the effect of undermining collective guilt and its prosocial consequences. However, there may be ways for perpetrator groups to… Active search for information: The effects of subjectively experienced control on stereotyping Benoit Dardenne, Vincent Yzerbyt, Christine Grégoire 2000 Investigates the subjective experience of control and how this experience moderates the impact of sterotypic vs individuating information in social judgment. In the 1st section of this chapter, the authors review the literature on control. It is proposed that control might be conceived as a kind of subjective experience, that is, a cognitive… Addressing stereotypes of aging and interest in careers working with older adults through education Jamie Macdonald, Sheri Levy 2021 Negative stereotypes about older adults are increasing and contributing to a shortage of professionals in gerontology. Building on the PEACE model (Positive Education about Aging and Contact Experiences), two experiments used education to address stereotypes associated with older adults. Participants were randomly assigned to read brief… Advancing e-contact to reduce intergroup anxiety and increase positive attitudes towards individuals who identify as bisexual Amaani Hatoum, Fiona White 2022 Bisexual individuals are invisible sexual minorities, who face prejudice and 'double discrimination' from both heterosexual and sexual minority communities. Despite this, little empirical research has examined bisexual prejudice reduction. To address this, the current study tested an E-contact intervention – a highly structured, text-based,… Age Discrimination in Hiring Practices: A Quantitative Analysis Catherine Pinkas 2018 Ageism, or discrimination based on assumptions about abilities and cognitive understanding based on a worker’s age, still prevails in the modern workplace, often disguised as business decisions, lack of advancement opportunities, and continuing mandatory retirement ages. Additionally, negative assumptions about younger workers also exist, some… Age-Based Hiring Discrimination as a Function of Equity Norms and Self-Perceived Objectivity Nicole Lindner, Alexander Graser, Brian Nosek, Aldo Rustichini 2014 Participants completed a questionnaire priming them to perceive themselves as either objective or biased, either before or after evaluating a young or old job applicant for a position linked to youthful stereotypes. Participants agreed that they were objective and tended to disagree that they were biased. Extending past research, both the… Alignment with globalized Western culture: Between inclusionary values and an exclusionary social identity Amir Rosenmann 2015 Reactions to globalized Western culture (GWC) are influential in shaping intergroup relations and social issues worldwide. GWC is conceptualized here as an inclusionary cultural value system but a simultaneously exclusionary social identity. Whereas GWC's inclusive values may promote the civil liberties and fair treatment of gay people, for… Altering explicit and implicit racial prejudice towards African American males Veronica Glover 2010 Researchers tested 281 undergraduates to determine if positive behavior messages about African American males presented during a learning task affected scores on explicit and implicit racial prejudice measures. During the learning task, we manipulated how many positive messages the participant viewed (100 vs. 150 or none) and the amount of… Pagination Current page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 Page 5 Page 6 Page 7 Page 8 Page 9 … Next page Next › Last page Last »
