Stolen Generations Experiences

Intergroup biases will increase

Cultural differences create the potential for hostility and homogenization is necessary for harmony.

Assimilation will happen naturally through extensive intergroup contact, resulting in a homogeneous identity.

Minority groups should assimilate to the dominant culture.

People may react negatively due to the blurring of group boundaries, leading to distinctiveness threat.

Cultural differences create the potential for hostility, and homogenization is necessary for harmony.

Indigenous Australians are expected to assimilate to the dominant culture, potentially leading to cultural suppression and loss.

Cultural suppression and loss, as well as trauma for the individuals and communities affected.

The absorption of Indigenous people by the people of the Commonwealth.

Cultural loss and erasure of their traditional way of life.

The need to 'absorb' Indigenous people into the dominant Australian culture and erase their Aboriginal identity.

She wanted her skin to be white, indicating a desire to disassociate herself from her Aboriginal identity and adopt a more privileged white identity.

The goal was to 'breed out' Aboriginal people by encouraging intermarriage with white people, resulting in a gradual loss of Aboriginal identity and culture.

It is unrealistic to expect people to let go of their group memberships, and assimilation can lead to the appropriation and extinguishing of minority groups.

It can create a reactive intergroup bias, where minority groups feel threatened and respond defensively to maintain their distinctiveness.

She was taught that black people were bad, leading to a negative self-image and internalized racism.

They were all subjected to forced removals and fostering, and were taught to suppress or deny their Aboriginal identity and culture.

It implies that the goal of assimilation policies was to erase Aboriginal identity and culture through intermarriage and genetic dilution.

Intergroup biases will increase as the in-group and out-group become more similar.

That extensive intergroup contact will naturally lead to the fusion of old identities into a new homogeneous identity.

To create a shared group membership that can reduce intergroup biases.

Subgroup identities will 'melt away' as people focus on their shared superordinate membership.

That cultural differences create the potential for hostility, and therefore a single culture is necessary for harmony.

Increased intergroup biases and prejudice.

By creating a shared group membership that reduces the salience of subgroup differences.

Cultural differences create the potential for hostility, and therefore homogenization is necessary for harmony.

Emphasizing a shared collective identity among members of different subgroups.

Ingroup projection.

Distinctiveness threat.

More harmonious relations in the superordinate condition.

To reduce prejudice and improve intergroup relations.

Self-categorization.

In-group favouritism and prejudice.

More positive intergroup relations.

Ingroup projection can lead to prejudice reduction by creating a common ingroup identity that diminishes the perception of group differences.

The common ingroup identity model involves creating a shared superordinate category, whereas the mutual intergroup differentiation model involves emphasizing distinct subgroup identities.

Distinctiveness threat occurs when a group's identity is perceived as threatened, leading to increased ingroup bias and prejudice against outgroups.

Superordinate categorization can reduce intergroup conflict by creating a shared identity that transcends subgroup differences.

The primary goal of the dual identity model is to balance subgroup distinctiveness with superordinate categorization to reduce intergroup conflict.

Ingroup projection can lead to increased ingroup bias and prejudice against outgroups, as well as reduced willingness to compromise and cooperate with outgroups.

When sub-group identities continue to be recognized and valued instead of ignored.

Increase in prejudice and in-group favouritism.

Recognition and valuation of subgroup identities.

Social categorization.

In-group favouritism and prejudice.

More positive intergroup relations.

Ingroup projection.

Increases in-group favouritism and prejudice.

The assumption of a shared understanding of the superordinate category among subgroup members.

It is unlikely to lead to a reduction in in-group favouritism.

The response latency measured the association between nationality and faces (white vs. Indigenous/Maori).

Maori symbols, culture, and language are more prominent in New Zealand life, which likely led to this difference.

The process by which individuals unconsciously project their own ingroup's characteristics onto a superordinate group.

It can lead to negative consequences, such as increased prejudice and conflict.

By reducing in-group favouritism and promoting a sense of commonality among subgroup members.

In-group favouritism and intergroup bias.

The primary goal of the dual identity model is to maintain subgroup identities while creating a sense of shared superordinate identity, thereby reducing prejudice and improving intergroup relations. This approach differs from the common ingroup identity model, which emphasizes a single, overarching identity, and the mutual intergroup differentiation model, which focuses on maintaining group distinctions.

Ingroup projection occurs when individuals attribute their ingroup's characteristics to a superordinate group, leading to increased ingroup favouritism and prejudice. However, if ingroup projection is encouraged in a way that acknowledges and values subgroup identities, it can lead to prejudice reduction and improved intergroup relations.

Distinctiveness threat occurs when individuals feel that their group's identity is being threatened, leading to increased ingroup favouritism and prejudice. This can be mitigated by emphasizing a shared superordinate identity while acknowledging and valuing subgroup differences.

The common ingroup identity model involves creating a single, overarching identity that supersedes subgroup identities. In contrast, the dual identity model maintains subgroup identities while creating a sense of shared superordinate identity.

Superordinate categorization can reduce intergroup conflict by emphasizing a shared identity that transcends subgroup differences. However, if subgroup identities are ignored or devalued, this approach can backfire and increase prejudice.

Making salient a common ingroup identity can reduce in-group favouritism and prejudice by reducing the perceived differences between subgroups and increasing feelings of shared identity and shared humanity.

The assumption is that Aboriginal people are inferior and need to be 'bred out' or assimilated into white culture.

Forced assimilation can lead to a negative self-perception and internalization of stereotypes, as seen in the quotes from the Stolen Generation.

The statement implies that the goal of assimilation is to 'breed out' Aboriginal people, leading to a loss of cultural identity and heritage.

The 'melting-pot' model assumes that all cultures will blend into a single dominant culture, ignoring the cultural differences and experiences of minority groups.

Assimilation policies can be psychologically painful for minority groups, leading to reactive intergroup bias and a loss of cultural identity.

The experience of the Stolen Generation challenges the assumption that assimilation is necessary for the betterment of minority groups, highlighting the trauma and cultural loss caused by forced assimilation.

The quotes imply that 'race' and cultural identity are social constructs, used to justify discrimination and assimilation policies.

The forced assimilation of Indigenous children reflects the power imbalance between the dominant and minority groups, with the dominant group imposing its cultural values and norms on the minority group.

In-group projection increases prejudice, and it occurs when in-group members project their own group's characteristics onto a superordinate group, leading to a stronger in-group identity and increased prejudice towards out-groups.

In-group projection can lead to biased evaluations of job candidates, where in-group members are more likely to be hired and out-group members are more likely to be rejected, due to a perceived similarity between in-group members and the superordinate group.

Strong sub-group identifiers are more likely to engage in in-group projection, leading to increased prejudice towards out-groups, as they prioritize their own sub-group's characteristics over the superordinate group.

In-group projection can lead to intergroup anxiety, as in-group members may prioritize their own group's characteristics over the superordinate group, leading to increased anxiety and prejudice towards out-groups.

In-group projection can lead to blatant prejudice towards out-groups, particularly immigrant groups, as in-group members prioritize their own group's characteristics over the superordinate group, leading to increased prejudice and discrimination.

In-group projection can lead to negative emotions and feelings towards out-groups, as in-group members prioritize their own group's characteristics over the superordinate group, leading to increased prejudice and discrimination.

Making salient a superordinate group can reduce prejudice by minimizing the distinction between in-groups and out-groups, reducing in-group projection and promoting a shared identity.

In-group projection can lead to a biased perception of typicality, where in-group members overestimate the similarity between in-group members and the superordinate group, and underestimate the similarity between out-group members and the superordinate group.
