Unit 4 Group ID/Beha
Political Psychology Midterm
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Social Identity Theory Sidanius Personal v. Group ID | Personal (dont care in politics): personal situation and directly controlled by individual Group ID: social situations, drive by how OTHERS see you, group assignment by OTHERS (no indiv. control) |
| Three aspects of Group membership and categorization (how we orient our world in social groups) | 1 (WHY)Simplify world: Stereotypes 2 (WHEN/HOW) Starts Immediately in life: Parents have schema (way to think of life) they pass 3 Social Groups a person falls into is their ID: Our ID, interests, and fates are tied to group ID, interests, and fates |
| In Groups | Our group - positive view of other members -focus on similarities b.w us breed trust and loyalty |
| Out Groups | The other group which we dont belong -focus on differences from in group -no attachment to group |
| In Group and Out group relation | creates tension (men v. women) antagonism (hostility) occurs groups can only exist in relation to each other (no in group means no out group and vise versa) |
| Group Types: Primordial | group you automatically belong to from birth -biology, DNA (race, sex, etc..) -almost 100% involuntary |
| Group Types: Interest | Group you choose to belong to -shared interests -determined by choices made in life -almost 100% voluntary belonging Ex. Political Party |
| Steps to have a Positive Social Identity | 1 Leave Group 2 Social Competition 3 Social Creativity |
| Steps to have a Positive Social Identity (Social Creativity) | =manage mind + group to judge diff - dimensional shift (rate on diff attribute) -value reassignment -relevant group selection (compare to diff group) -perception of group variability -temporal or absolute comparison (compare to worse time for group) |
| Conflict and convergence (Muzafer Sherif, 1950s) | Groups will conflict anytime in competition for same thing Study: Separated groups of boys in the woods competing for one prize then forcing cooperation Found: fights, degrading , create stereotypes then force cooperation > conflict lowered |
| Realistic group conflict theory (Bobo 1990s) | Actual competition is not necessary, perceived threat is enough - a group will defend their way of life through defending their resources (finite) against a perceived threat - Immigrants taking American Citizens jobs, not actually taking what they want |
| Social dominance orientation (SDO) theory (Sidanius) | All societies somewhat hierarchical Interrelated Some (Disability) have at least one hegemonic and subordinate group Formed indiv. discrim. is normal Societal givens made by indiv. and group ID Social dominance is fundamental desire Legitimize Myth |
| Assumption 1 of SDO Hierarchies | Some people are on top, others not Ascribed Hierarchies: primordial Achieved H.:More interest based (earn where you are, hard work) Top-Rich, white,christian,men Bottom-immigrants |
| Assumption 2 of SDO Interrelated Some | Sometimes primordial factors keep people from achieving Ex. Disabilities, under privilaged backgrounds |
| Assumption 3 of SDO Hegemonic + subordinate group | All society have at least one hegemonic and subordinate group subordinate= P.O.C (negative assumptions, hard to win) Hegemonic= White (good assumptions, continue to win power b/c assume can handle it) |
| Assumption 4 of SDO discrim is normal | Aggregated Individuals discrimination is normal societal features |
| Assumption 5 of SDO societical givens maintain by indiv. and group ID process | societal givens are maintained by individual and group identity processes - given how we view/sterotype diff. groups (subordinate group) will keep them in the same position in hierarchy -Social comparison, social ID, self-esteem maintenance |
| Assumption 6 of SDO Social dominance is fundamental | Social dominance orientation is a fundamental human desire to view one’s own group as positive and occupying higher social status than other relevant groups - never want to be the lowest/worse group |
| Assumption 7 of SDO Legitimizing Myths to Keep Order | myths that aren't true, but ppl tell themselves this to make sense of where they are, the extent that people believe them is the extent the hierarchy exists 1 paternalistic 2 Reciprocal 3 Sacred Reciprocal |
| Types of Myths of SDO Paternalistic | Paternalistic: in power to take care of other ppl - how white ppl validated slavery by saying the black americans couldn't take care of themselves -Male dominance and the patriarchy over women |
| Types of Myths of SDO Reciprocal | Reciprocal: in power but subordinate group has input |
| Types of Myths of SDO Sacred Reciprocal | Sacred Reciprocal: where you are is because god put you there, still allow input from sub. group Ex. American Exceptionalism and Monarchies |
