Study Notes

Gender Discrimination and Stigma in Social Psychology

  • Role congruity theory suggests that social stereotypes of women are inconsistent with effective leadership schemas, leading to a gender gap in leadership.
  • The glass ceiling is an invisible barrier that prevents women and minorities from attaining top leadership positions.
  • The glass cliff phenomenon refers to the tendency for women to be appointed to precarious leadership positions associated with a high probability of failure and criticism.
  • Media often illustrate men with greater prominence to the head and women with greater prominence to the body, perpetuating gender stereotypes.
  • Discrimination can be expressed as social distance or ambivalence behaviors or feelings, and can manifest as symbolic racism.
  • Tokenism involves giving trivial concessions to a minority group to deflect accusations of discrimination.
  • Reverse discrimination refers to favoring a minority group over a majority group to deflect accusations of discrimination.
  • Aging has an impact on the popularity of male and female actors, with males being more likely to be nominated for best picture Oscars and to win movie guide ratings.
  • Stigma can be visual, concealable/internal, or controllable, and targets cannot easily avoid being the target of stereotypes and discrimination.
  • Stigma persists due to self-evaluative advantage, legitimizing inequalities of status, and feelings of certainty and controllability.
  • Prejudice can stem from competition between social groups over valued commodities or opportunities, contributing to increased negativity between groups.
  • Tajfel's minimal group paradigm suggests that mere classification of individuals into arbitrary groups can result in discrimination, with in-group bias being more important than out-group.
