Extending the benefits of recategorization: evaluations, self-disclosure, and helping

Article Abstract:

The consequence of recategorization on intergroup behavior, particularly on helping, self-disclosure, and evaluation was analyzed using an extension of the Common Ingroup Identity Model. This model insinuates that recategorization may present a useful scheme for lessening intergroup bias. This occurs when the members of two different groups consider themselves as one single group rather than separate groups. The effect of recategorization on the three behaviors manifests an impetus for beneficial and productive intergroup relations which can act as a stimulus for positive actions and attitudes.

On the nature of prejudice: automatic and controlled processes

Article Abstract:

Three groups of mixed White male and female college students participated in three experiments conducted to examine the implicit attitudes of Whites toward Blacks. The subjects were shown schematic faces of Black and White men and women as priming stimuli in order to observe the manner in which they categorize objects and people. Results indicate the presence of implicit negative racial attitudes of Whites toward Blacks consistent with subjects' contemporary perspectives concerning racial attitudes.

Kicking the habit: Effects of nonstereotypic association training and correction processes on hiring decisions

Article Abstract:

The effect of training in associating nonstereotypic traits with men and women on hiring decisions is examined. It is found that extensive nonstereotypic training did reduce sex discrimination when the training phase was disassociated from the choice of candidate task or when the participant's cognitive capacity was limited.
