AuthorTitleTypeYear #ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 7 Publications Applied Filters: First Letter Of Title: G Reset Generalization of dissonance reduction: Decreasing prejudice through induced compliance Michael Leippe 1994 Three studies involving a total of 318 White college students demonstrated that induced compliance can change socially significant attitudes and that the change generalizes to broader beliefs. Ss wrote an essay endorsing a pro-Black policy that was costly to Whites. In Exps 1 and 2, attitudes and general beliefs about Blacks became more… The good, the bad and the ugly: Differential effects of happy and sad emotions on intergroup contact outcomes Melody Sadler 2003 The effect of incidental happy and sad emotions on the ability of intergroup contact to bring about more positive outgroup attitudes and less stereotyping was examined. Happiness was expected to facilitate more positive outgroup attitudes whereas sadness was expected to encourage stereotype change. In two experiments,… The greatest magic of Harry Potter: Reducing prejudice Loris Vezzali, Sofia Stathi, Dino Giovannini, Dora Capozza, Elena Trifiletti 2015 Recent research shows that extended contact via story reading is a powerful strategy to improve out-group attitudes. We conducted three studies to test whether extended contact through reading the popular best-selling books of Harry Potter improves attitudes toward stigmatized groups (immigrants, homosexuals, refugees). Results from one… Group categorization and attribution of belief similarity Vernon Allen, David Wilder 1979 In the absence of information to the contrary, an individual tends to assume that members of an out group have values which differ from his own.

Group identification and intergroup conflict: The mystery of multiple group boundaries Jeffrey Polzer 1995 Intergroup processes have pervasive effects on resource allocation decisions, levels of conflict and cooperation, personal judgments of other people, and many other elements of daily life. However, given that every person belongs to many groups, understanding the role of group identification in leading to behavioral outcomes is integral to… Group norms, threat, and children's racial prejudice Drew Nesdale, Anne Maass, Kevin Durkin, Judith Griffiths 2005 To assess predictions from social identity development theory (SIDT; Nesdale, 2004) concerning children's ethnic/racial prejudice, 197 Anglo-Australian children ages 7 or 9 years participated in a minimal group study as a member of a team that had a norm of inclusion or exclusion. The team was threatened or not threatened by an out-group that… Group representations and intergroup bias: Positive affect, similarity, and group size John Dovidio, Samuel Gaertner, Alice Isen 1995 This study examined how social (group size: two, three, or four persons), appearance (similar or dissimilar dress), and affective (positive or neutral mood) factors can influence social categorization and, consequently, intergroup bias. As expected, positive affect increased the extent to which subjects formed inclusive group representations,…
