        Help!  

Question
Answer
Flap 3
Social Cognition   Brain processes behind social psychology   (blank)  
🗑
Opening a Social Categories   Opens stereotype   provides you with info & makes you alert to peculiar info  
🗑
Stereotype components   Cognitive, affective, behavioural   how we feel, think and act towards a group  
🗑
Structural effects of activating a stereotype   attentional preservation, memory encoding & retrival   (blank)  
🗑
Informational effects of activating a stereotype   target elaboration using info you already know   (blank)  
🗑
behavioural effects of activating a stereotype   action initiation   (blank)  
🗑
Dovido et al (1986)   Activation inevitable?   Yes. "Could <black/white> be true of <trait>". Quicker response when concordent. BUT problem with stimulus (just words), making explicit judgements.  
🗑
Purdue & Gurtman (1991)   Activation inevitable?   Invisible prime (young v old). Favourable traits faster for young than old. Unfavourable faster for old. BUT not steretypical of groups.  
🗑
Devine (?)   Activation inevitable?   Two process model. Distiction between activation and application. Application levels vary depnding on prejudice. By replacing society's beliefs with your own personal beliefs you can inhibit activation.  
🗑
Devine (?) exp   Activation inevitable?   Subliminal prime using vigillance task.Read abiguous passage abt "donald" & interpret behav. Primed = hostile, Prejudice ppl = more hostile.  
🗑
Gilbert & Hixon (1991)   Activation inevitable? When not?   Woman (asian/white) turn over a card, POLI_E, also cog. depletion task, when cog busy, no stereotype activation, controvertial  
🗑
Spencer et al (1998)   Activation inevitable? When not?   Repeated Gilbert & Hixon but also introduced self image threat by negative feedback. Activated when threatened.  
🗑
Macrae et al (1997)   Activation inevitable? When not?   Temporary processing goals. Photo of woman/object. Semantic questions "alive?", pre-synaptic "count dots" & control. Then LDT. Only steretypic when semantic processing.  
🗑
Definition of steretypic activation.   Extent of accessibility of a stereotype.   (blank)  
🗑
Definition of application   how much one uses a stereotype to judge a group   (blank)  
🗑
Flexibility to process expected and unexpected information   Neocortical System: slow learning, semantic memory and beliefs, resistant to change (expected info)   Hippocampal: fast learning, temporary representations & episodic memory that have comon access to consciousness (unexpected - rehearsal can then fit into schema)  
🗑
Kunda & Sinclair (1999)   Application model   Applic & Act determined by motivation which is influenced by reasoning.  
🗑
Motivational goals affecting act/applic   comprehension & prejudice avoidance (less likely to)   self enhancement (more likely to).  
🗑
Fein & Spencer (1997)   Self enhancement & act/applic   look at job applicants that either jewish (by looks and name) or not. Ppts either fail/pass/control a test. Only those that passed didn't stereotype.  
🗑
Sinclair & Kunda (1996)   Self enhanceent field study   Female professors that give bad marks deemed less competent that males that give equal marks (NB conclusions dodgey)  
🗑
Unexpected info leads to   individuation   (blank)  
🗑
Macrae et al (1999)   Individuation   stops under cognitive load.  
🗑
Stereotype application on social judgements.   eg self judgements after trait activation v exemplar activation   do well if primed with professor, badly if primed with a specific professor.  
🗑
Bargh (1996)   category application & behaviour   Primed with elderly = walk more slowly. priming leads to action tendancies.  
🗑
Inhibition (neuron processes)   Pyramidal cells have +ve feedback, GABA inhibits   needed for coherent behaviour  
🗑
Evidence for inhibition   Negative priming, lateral inhibition (ambiguous words) & cognitive deficits (elderly)   (blank)  
🗑
Kunda & Thagrad   (1996) if something fits many stereotypes, contradicting traits cancel out and are void.   bit shit  
🗑
Bodenhausen & Macrae   (1998) lateral inhibition, cognitive mechanisms try to simplify   categories achieve dominance by being salient, chronically accessible (and priming), chronically prejudice, momentory goals  
🗑
Macrae, Boadenhausen & Milne   (1995) evidence for inhibition during impression formation   ppts primed with either "asian" or "woman", then LDT, those primed w woman = faster at woman words and, asian words inhibited compared to control.  
🗑
Sinclair & Kunda   (1999) inhibition in real life impression formation   meet black doctor who either praises or criticises, if praised they inhibit black and activate doctor, if criticised then other way around  
🗑
Locke, Cesareo & Johnston   (under review).   ppts shown aborigine/caucasian faces. Then do stroop task with stereotypic words. Low prejudice showed inhibition to steretypical aboriginal words compared to caucasian base line.  
🗑
