Abstract. One of the main advantages measures automatic cognition is supposed to be that they are less susceptible faking than explicit tests. It an empirical question, however, what degree these can faked, and response might well differ for different measures. We tested whether Implicit Association Test (IAT, Greenwald, McGhee, & Schwartz, 1998 ) cannot faked as easily same constructs. chose Big-Five dimensions conscientiousness extraversion constructs interest. The results show,...
Many models assume that habitual human behavior is guided by spontaneous, automatic, or implicit processes rather than deliberate, rule-based, explicit processes. Thus, math-ability self-concepts and math performance could be related to math-gender stereotypes in addition stereotypes. Two studies assessed at what age stereotyping can observed the relations between these math-related outcomes are children adolescents. Implicit already detected with Association Tests (Greenwald, McGhee, &...
Gender stereotype theory suggests that men are generally perceived as more masculine than women, whereas women feminine men. Several scales have been developed to measure fundamental aspects of gender stereotypes (e.g., agency and communion, competence warmth, or instrumentality expressivity). Although omitted in later version, Bem's original Sex Role Inventory included the items "masculine" "feminine" addition specific gender-stereotypical attributes. We argue it is useful be able these two...
The categories that social targets belong to are often activated automatically. Most studies investigating categorization have used visual stimuli or verbal labels, whereas ethnolinguistic identity theory posits language is an essential dimension of ethnic identity. Language should therefore be for categorization. In 2 experiments, using the "Who Said What?" paradigm, authors investigated by accents (auditory stimuli) and looks (visual indicate ethnicity, either separately in combination....
Attitudes toward lesbians, gay men, bisexual women, and men were assessed in a national representative sample of 2,006 self‐identified heterosexual women living Germany. Replicating previous findings, younger people held more favorable attitudes than older people; men; female male homosexuality, whereas did not differentiate. However, homosexuals bisexuals, Knowing homosexual person was an important predictor attitudes, as political party preference. Both same‐sex opposite‐sex sexual...
According to theories brought forward recently, implicit measures based on reaction times, for instance Implicit Association Tests (IATs), should predict spontaneous behavior better than explicit measures. We applied five IATs the measurement of Big Five personality factors and tested whether predicted behavior. The results show that, although dimensions were related at correlations between them with suggest that these constructs be differentiated. behavior, but did not. In contrast,...
ABSTRACT Attitudes towards lesbians and gay men, as assessed with questionnaires, have become more positive in the last decades. An open question is, however, whether that trend reflects true change or rather a growing reluctance to admit negative attitudes (to others self). New procedures measuring implicit may help find an answer. In three studies 208 students at German university, men were measured explicit scales Implicit Association Test (Greenwald, McGhee, & Schwartz, 1998) adapted for...
Using data from 15 countries, this article investigates whether descriptive and prescriptive gender norms concerning housework child care (domestic work) changed after the onset of COVID-19 pandemic. Results a total 8,343 participants ( M = 19.95, SD 1.68) two comparable student samples suggest that about unpaid domestic work have been affected by pandemic, with individuals seeing mothers’ relative to fathers’ share as even larger. Moderation analyses revealed effect pandemic on decreased...
The introduction of the Implicit Association Test (IAT; Greenwald, McGhee, & Schwartz, 1998) has stimulated numerous research activities. IAT is supposed to measure degree association between concepts. Instances have be assigned these concepts by pressing appropriate keys as quickly possible. reaction time difference certain conditions, termed effect, used an indicator concepts' association. We tested hypothesis that one concept (or category) and instances other presented also influences...
Implicit attitudes are conceived of as formed in childhood, suggesting extreme stability. At the same time, it has been shown that implicit influenced by situational factors, variability moment. In present article, using structural equation modeling, we decomposed towards gay men into a person factor and factor. The Association Test ( Greenwald, McGhee, & Schwartz, 1998 ), introduced an instrument with which individual differences can be measured, was used. Measurement repeated after one...
The visual dimension has featured prominently in person perception the last 25 years. Alone, this cannot give complete 'picture' of others because language and speech (i.e., auditory dimension) are also highly informative. Social-cognition research investigates role information for impression formation. In a series experiments, we tested perceived competence, hirability, socio-intellectual status different targets based on their regional accents. Given identical content statements conditions...
The relation between developed and developing countries is characterized by inequalities that sometimes hinder actions against worldwide problems. current research presents an intergroup approach, based on the ingroup projection model, towards analysis of psychological processes perpetuate global inequality a social group level. Precisely, we argue people from perceive their as more prototypical for world population than they countries. These perceptions prototypicality should in turn relate...
The ingroup projection model posits that group members project features onto a superordinate category. present research aimed at isolating the cognitive underpinnings of this process. If is spontaneous process, category prime should facilitate processing prototype rather than outgroup prototype. Three studies support hypothesis by comparing subliminal semantic priming in two different populations, an intra- versus intergroup situation, and with manipulated changing context. Results indicated...
Prejudice against a social group may lead to discrimination of members this group. One very strong cue membership is (non)standard accent in speech. Surprisingly, hardly any interventions accent-based have been tested. In the current article, we introduce an intervention which what participants experience themselves unobtrusively changes their evaluations others. present experiment, experimental condition talked confederate foreign language before whereas those control received no treatment....
Most research on ethnicity has focused visual cues. However, accents are strong social cues that can match or contradict We examined understudied reactions to people whose one cue suggests ethnicity, whereas the other contradicts it. In an experiment conducted in Germany, job candidates spoke with accent either congruent incongruent their (German Turkish) appearance. Based ethnolinguistic identity theory, we predicted would be for categorization and evaluation. expectancy violations theory...
Concerning race and its intertwinements with gender, sexual orientation, class, accents, or ability there is a scarcity of social psychological research in Europe. With an intersectional approach studying racism Europe it possible to detect specific experiences discrimination. The prevalent understanding European connected migration from the former colonies metropoles post-Second-World-War immigration 'guest workers.' Thus, focus this on work-related Against background short historical...
Trust lies at the heart of human interaction and societies in general. Multiple research fields within beyond psychology address trust as a topic. However, even psychology, different traditions have developed various sometimes (apparently) contradictory perspectives on trust. This includes such approaches choice behavior evaluation has led to inconsistencies findings methods. review reconciles approaches, systematizes heterogeneity concepts, raises new questions for future by approaching...
Research has oftentimes demonstrated a perceived lack-of-fit between impressions of female applicants and male-typed jobs requiring competent, assertive behavior. Most this research neglected an intersectional perspective, accounting for unique experiences dis/advantages connected to multiple group membership. If identity intersections were taken into account, findings on if, how, applicants’ affect perceptions competence, warmth, hireability have been contradictory. Previous typically...
Abstract Almost inherently, helping occurs between people with disparate resources. Consequently, the dynamic can reinforce power hierarchies, particularly regarding dependency‐oriented (that preserves hierarchy) rather than autonomy‐oriented may level hierarchies). We posit that perceived social norms disadvantaged groups affect tendencies to help versus discriminate. Specifically, individuals who feel threatened by conform offering help, thus preserving hierarchy while ostensibly adhering...
