Study Notes
Self Development Theories
- The Self has both an active and passive component
- The I represents the active part of the self which initiates behavior.
- The Me represents the passive aspect of the self, the object which behavior is directed towards.
Stages of Self Development
- Infants do not have self-differentiation at birth.
- By 18 to 24 months, infants can start to differentiate themselves from others.
Role taking
- Role taking is the process of placing oneself in the shoes of another person.
- The play stage is the first stage where kids imitate the actions of adults.
- The game stage requires children to understand the viewpoint of other actors in more complex, organized settings.
- This ability allows children to anticipate the actions of others.
- The generalized other is the internalized perception of the views and expectations of society.
Social Identitites
- A social identity is a definition of self in terms of shared characteristics with a social group.
- Each identity has degrees of salience.
- More salient identities are more likely to be activated in certain situations.
- Saliency of identities also determines which behaviors are enacted.
- There are two main cultural distinctions that impact identity formation:
- Individualist cultures place emphasis on personal achievement and one’s personal identities.
- Collectivist cultures prioritize group welfare and one’s group position.
### The Pygmalion Effect
- Higher expectations on an individual's performance can lead to improved performance.
The Golem Effect
- Lower performance expectations placed upon a person can lead to poorer performance.
Social Sources of Prejudice
- We categorize people into groups to simplify the world around us.
- People identify with specific groups, which leads to a favorable bias towards their own in-group.
- Groups differentiate themselves by comparing themselves to other groups (outgroups).
Ingroup Bias
- Ingroup bias is the tendency to display favoritism towards members of our own group.
- The definition of who we are (ingroup) implies a definition of who we are not (outgroup).
Conformity
- Many people conform to existing social norms, even if it means acting prejudiced.
Emotional Sources of Prejudice
- Frustration and aggression can be expressed through misplaced accusations.
- People can display a just-world phenomenon where a person falsely believes that people get what they deserve.
### Cognitive Sources of Prejudice
- Individuals often judge people based on their differences.
- Distinctive people are more likely to draw attention to themselves, which can lead to biased judgements.
Stereotype Threat
- Stereotype threat is the apprehension that one will be evaluated based on a negative stereotype.
- It can lead to negative self-fulfilling prophecies, where individuals perform worse when their group identity is emphasized.
Discrimination
- Prejudice is a negative attitude.
- Discrimination is a negative behavior based on prejudice.
