“Lockdown didn't feel any different to us” social experiences of parents of autistic children in the United Kingdom and in China
Parents of autistic children experience significant social challenges all around the world. In this research, semi-structured interviews were used to examine the social experiences of parents of autistic children in two contexts: The United Kingdom (UK) and China. Fifteen parents in each country reported their social experiences, which were analysed through thematic analysis. Four themes were identified in the Chinese interviews: Stigma, coping w…
Masquerading their way to authenticity: Does age stigma concealment benefit older women
As women age they can be subject to both sexism and ageism, and consequently be stereotyped as low in competence and irrelevant despite having a relatively young subjective age. Drawing on theories of stigma, we conducted a survey study of older women (N = 184) with a strong interest in fashion and their visual image. We used template thematic analysis to understand their experiences in relation to their age-changed appearance. Two major themes w…
Gendered ageism and gray hair: Must older women choose between feeling authentic and looking competent
Aging women frequently use hair dye to disguise their age in order to avoid being stigmatized as “old”. Recently, however, some have chosen naturally gray hair. Informed by Goffman’s theory of stigma, we investigated why they would do so in the face of age-discrimination, and their experiences of the process. We identified two major, oppositional themes, competence and authenticity. Despite wanting to avoid perceptions of old-thus-incompetent, wo…
Narcissism and United States’ culture: The view from home and around the world
The issue of Americans' levels of narcissism is subject to lively debate. The focus of the present research is on the perception of national character (PNC) of Americans as a group. In Study 1, American adults (N = 100) rated Americans as significantly more narcissistic than they perceived themselves and acquaintances. In Study 2, this finding was replicated with American college students (N = 322). PNC ratings of personality traits and externali…
What's in a Forename? Cue Familiarity and Stereotypical Thinking
Doing what the mob do: Priming effects on conformity
This study considered whether participants' tendency to conform to a group norm could be influenced by priming them with categories associated with either conformity or anarchy. Participants were primed with one of two categories: ‘accountant prime’, ‘punk prime’ (plus a baseline ‘no prime’). They then participated in a variant of the Asch ( 1951 ) conformity paradigm. Results indicated that ‘punk’‐primed participants conformed significantly less…
Cognitive load and person memory: The role of perceived group variability
Two studies investigated the effects of cognitive busyness and group variability on participants' memory for stereotype-related information. In Study 1, participants formed an impression of an experimentally created group that was either homogeneous or heterogeneous in composition. While learning about the group, half of the participants were made cognitively busy, the others were not. The results supported our prediction that stereotypical effor…
When the mind is otherwise engaged: Resource depletion and social stereotyping
This study investigated the effects of resource depletion on stereotyping. Participants were instructed to form an impression of a target, and whilst performing this task, they overheard a tape-recorded conversation. The conversation was manipulated so that it was more or less relevant to the participants. Results in general supported the prediction that when participants eavesdrop on a relevant conversation, attentional capacity will be diminish…
Cognitive models of stereotype change (4): Motivational and cognitive influences
Three experiments investigating the effects of cognitive and motivational factors on stereotype change are reported. Trait ratings in all three experiments showed there to be greater stereotype‐change when stereotype‐inconsistent information was dispersed across many group members than when it was concentrated in only a few. A sorting task (Experiment 1) indicated that, in the concentrated conditions the stereotype disconfirmers were more strongl…
