- 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.
