Psychophysiology notes that “Self-serving attributions occur when negative personal outcomes are ascribed to external circumstances and when positive outcomes are ascribed to internal factors. Individuals strategically employ the self-serving bias to maintain and protect positive self-views. “(Page 511) Stereo Typing Brown, Rupert (2010). Prejudice: Its Social Psychology (2nd ed.). Stereotypes lead people to expect certain actions from members of social groups.
Stereotypes could be a form of prejudice if they are negative generalizations. Discrimination is the act of excluding a group from some right, privilege, or service “based upon” prejudice and stereotyping. What are the causes of discrimination? Causes of discrimination can be many things it usually with race, sex, religion or even weight and I think it's a lot with how we are brought up if we are brought up in a family that discriminates people then usually we think that it's okay to do this or if you hang out with a group of kids that discriminate or make fun of others then you tend to do it to fit in your thinking that you are cool. To me there is really no reason for discrimination everyone should be treated equally and everyone should be treated the same and get the same right.
Underreporting occurs due to individuals being dishonest regarding their behavior, therefore causing an error in the research done. A possible solution to this limitation is focusing on observed behavior, and correlating the findings with the self-reporting behavior, therefore developing a conclusion that is more in-depth. Furthermore, Article 2 emphasized that other factors can influence self-labeling as a victim in relation to work-place bullying, not just anxiety and anger. In addition, discovering a moderation effect regarding negative acts of violence and self-labeling is hard to discover due to the psychological way an individual may experience an event. Lastly, Article 3 honed on the lack of variances of deviant behavior.
Stereotyping is an idea or picture that is held by someone about an individual or group. Stereotyping leads to making assumptions without knowing the individual. Stereotyping means identify people with the same characteristics to be the same instead of individuals. One group who have negative stereotypes are gypsies. The negative stereotypes they have might impact the way they are treated in health and social practitioners.
This awareness is hypothesized to be deeply threatening • A model hypothesizing that recognition of their own morality raises anxiety in humans, which they can reduce by affirming and conforming to their cultural worldview • This conforming act gives meaning to existence • Reminding people of their morality increases their use of stereotypes • Basically, conformity to social values and cultural worldviews can serve to protect people from death anxiety • This provides a sense of symbolic immortality o Social impact theory • A model that conceives of influence fro other people as being the result of social forces acting on individuals, much as psychical forces can affect an object • Strength of social force (intensity) matters • Immediacy refers to the closeness of each social force • Numbers refers to the quantity of social forces present • Psychosocial law • A principle in social impact theory that specifies the nature of the relation between the size of a group and its social influence. The principle predicts that as the number of social forces increases, overall social influence also increases, but at a declining rate
1.1. Using examples, evaluate the relevance of the following in the counselling process. * Stereotyping Stereotyping can lead to groups and individuals being categorised, which in turn may produce prejudiced beliefs. In the counselling relationship there is potential for stereotyping from client to counsellor and vice versa. A client who experiences a lifetime of racial stereotyping may bring any residual feelings to counselling (McLeod 2008).
Stereotyping no doubt serves a purpose at times, however, it is up to the individual to get to know either the other individual or members of that group to determine if their perceptions are correct. Most stereotypes probably tend to convey a negative and positive impression (Clark, R., Anderson, N.B., Clark, V.R., and Williams, D.R, 1999). Positive stereotypes are good qualities that are assigned to groups of people based on various characteristics, including their race, nationality and sexual orientation among others. The negative stereotypes are present regarding a specific group, group members are likely to become anxious about their performance, which may hinder their ability to perform at their maximum level, behavior, judgment. The differences
Analyzing stereotypes Stereotypes are beliefs about human collectives that are created and shared among groups and between groups of a culture. The stereotype can be regarded as a lower form of thought, this is wrong for not coincide with reality, by obeying a motivation for being defensive or rigid. The ethnic stereotype is a generalization about specific characteristics of an ethnic group that can be regarded as justify by an objective observer. Among the traits that characterize the stereotypes are those that define the group and set it apart from other groups. The stereotype is related to two concepts in the treat of human groups, while the stereotype would be the set of beliefs about attributes assigned to a group, a cognitive
Representations could be negative or positive. Limited representations in mainstream media may be problematic because they are generalizations that may not apply to everyone. Mainstream representations are based on stereotypes which come from social dominant ideologies. Stereotypes are defined when they are seen so
The term disposition refers to somebody’s beliefs, attitudes, and personality. When people attribute other people’s behaviour to external factors such as the immediate rewards and punishments in a social setting or social pressure, they are making a situational attribution. While making judgements about people’s behaviour, we tend to make errors. Attribution theory argues that people are more likely to explain another person’s actions by pointing to the dispositional factors, rather than to the situation. When people overestimate the role of dispositional factors in an individual’s behaviour and underestimate the situational factors, it is called the fundamental attribution error.
