The role of sexism in voting in the 2016 presidential election
Structure and content of Native American stereotypic subgroups
Native American stereotypes are apparently characterized by both noble and ignoble subgroups, highlighting the importance of studying stereotypes at the subgroup level. (PsycINFO Database Record
Goal Fusion
Goal fusion refers to the perception that a goal is integrated within one's self-concept. We created a new measure of goal fusion and examined how incremental differences in such fusion results in positive and negative goal-relevant consequences. A pilot study supported the measure's test–retest reliability. Study 1 found that goal fusion uniquely contributed to participants' goal-relevant cognitions and behaviors above and beyond the effects of …
The Masculinity Contingency Scale (MCS)
Women Like Me Are Bad at Math
The impact of negative stereotypes can be harmful, and as a result, stigmatized targets are often motivated to deny their accuracy. However, at times, targets of even the most unflattering stereotypes embrace them as valid. Early stigma researchers conceptualized this self‐stereotyping as a form of internalized self‐hatred. However, within the last few decades, stigma researchers have challenged this notion. This more contemporary approach assert…
Queer Eye for the Straight Guy
Stereotype lift is defined as a boost in performance caused by an awareness of a positive ingroup stereotype. This study investigated if gay men experience stereotype lift in the fashion domain. To date, no studies have examined stereotype lift in regards to stereotypes about sexual orientation or in regards to a non-academic task. To address this gap in the literature, gay and straight men completed a test of fashion knowledge under conditions w…
SeX-Box
We examined the association between playing sexist video games and sexist attitudes. Undergraduate students (61 men and 114 women) indicated the level of perceived sexism present in their most frequently played video games. Students also completed the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (Glick & Fiske, 1996), which measures both hostile and benevolent sexism. As predicted, men who played video games perceived to be high in sexism showed higher levels of …
The Positive (and Negative) Consequences of Endorsing Negative Self-stereotypes
The impact of negative stereotypes can be harmful and, as a result, stereotype targets are often motivated to deny their accuracy. However, at times, targets of even the most unflattering stereotypes embrace them as valid. We identify the underlying reasons why people might embrace negative self-stereotypes and also examine the various outcomes that result from these reasons. Our discussion highlights the fact that although these outcomes are oft…
Who’s chasing whom? The impact of gender and relationship status on mate poaching
Why do implicit and explicit attitude tests diverge? The role of structural fit
Implicit and explicit attitude tests are often weakly correlated, leading some theorists to conclude that implicit and explicit cognition are independent. Popular implicit and explicit tests, however, differ in many ways beyond implicit and explicit cognition. The authors examined in 4 studies whether correlations between implicit and explicit tests were influenced by the similarity in task demands (i.e., structural fit) and, hence, the processes…
