Two studies investigated intergroup contact with immigrants in Italy. In Study 1
( N = 310 students) contact had direct positive effects on perceived out-group
variability and out-group attitude, and a direct negative effect on subtle
prejudice; the last two effects were mediated by intergroup anxiety. Contact
also had a greater effect on reduced anxiety and improved out-group perception
and evalu... hiện toàn bộ
Recent evidence suggests that one possible cause of disparities in health
outcomes for stigmatized groups is the implicit biases held by health care
providers. In response, several health care organizations have called for, and
developed, new training in implicit bias for their providers. This review
examines current evidence on the role that provider implicit bias may play in
health disparities, ... hiện toàn bộ

Research on implicit person theories shows that beliefs about the malleability
of human attributes have important implications for social cognition,
interpersonal behavior, and intergroup relations. We argue that these
implications can be understood within the framework of psychological
essentialism, which extends work on implicit theories in promising directions.
We review evidence that immutabil... hiện toàn bộ
Vegetarianism and veganism are increasingly prevalent in Western countries, yet
anecdotal expressions of negativity toward vegetarians and vegans are common. We
empirically tested whether bias exists toward vegetarians and vegans. In Study 1
omnivores evaluated vegetarians and vegans equivalently or more negatively than
several common prejudice target groups (e.g., Blacks). Bias was heightened amo... hiện toàn bộ

This study investigated contact and ageism on both the implicit and the explicit
level. We examined the role of grandparent–grandchild communication (in terms of
self-disclosure) and its relations to anxiety and empathy in improving
intergenerational attitudes. Analyses revealed that: (1) quantity and quality of
contact with older people (other than grandparents) predict higher levels of
self-disc... hiện toàn bộ
The Rejection-Identification model (Branscombe, Schmitt, & Harvey, 1999) posits
that perceived discrimination may lead to increased ingroup identification,
which can help maintain psychological well-being in the face of societal
devaluation. To address unknown aspects of this model, we examined the effects
of perceived personal and group discrimination on the group identification and
personal self... hiện toàn bộ
Asked to list specific behaviors that occur when they give or receive the
`silent treatment,' undergraduates then wrote down the feeling associated with
each behavior. Independent raters in Study 1, and participants in Study 2, coded
the entries according to taxonomic dimensions for the behaviors and threatened
needs for the feelings, finding support for Williams's (1997) Model of
Ostracism. Speci... hiện toàn bộ
Although biases against homosexuals (and bisexuals) are well established,
potential biases against a largely unrecognized sexual minority group, asexuals,
has remained uninvestigated. In two studies (university student and community
samples) we examined the extent to which those not desiring sexual activity are
viewed negatively by heterosexuals. We provide the first empirical evidence of
intergro... hiện toàn bộ
A longitudinal field study examined Pettigrew’s (1998) intergroup contact theory
and Gaertner et al.’s (2000) Common Ingroup Identity Model (CIIM). In
Pettigrew’s model, the contact-prejudice relation is mediated by changing
behavior, ingroup reappraisal, generating affective ties, and learning about the
outgroup. Pettigrew’s integration of the three chief models of contact
generalization into a t... hiện toàn bộ
Previous meta-analytic reviews of the literature on crossed categorization have
uncovered a number of important findings; however, several questions remain
unanswered and may best be tackled using a more traditional narrative approach.
This review of the literature on crossed categorization divides studies into
those that are relevant to (a) which pattern of evaluation prevails in multiple
categor... hiện toàn bộ
