Stereotypes vs. Prejudice vs. Discrimination

In this video, we’ll differentiate between stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination, and we’ll discuss several important social psychological concepts and hypotheses related to each, including what causes them to arise in the first place.
Stereotype: A belief, positive or negative, about the characteristics of members of a group that is applied generally to most members of the group; can lead to prejudice.
Prejudice: Drawing negative conclusions about a person, group of people, or situation prior to evaluating the evidence; can lead to discrimination.
Discrimination: Negative behavior toward members of out-groups.
In-group: A group that we identify with or see ourselves as belonging to.
Out-group: A group that we don’t belong to and/or that we view as fundamentally different from us.
Implicit Stereotypes and Prejudice: Stereotypes and prejudice that we are unaware of.
Explicit Stereotypes and Prejudice: Stereotypes and prejudice that we are consciously aware of.
Confirmation Bias: The tendency to seek out evidence that supports our beliefs and deny, dismiss, or distort evidence that contradicts them.
Cognitive Misers: A term used to describe how, as humans, we seek to use only minimal cognitive resources when explaining the world around us.
In-group Bias: The tendency to favor individuals within our group over those from outside our group.
Ultimate Attribution Error: The assumption that behaviors among individual members of a group are due to their internal dispositions.
Out-group Homogeneity: The tendency to view all individuals outside our group as highly similar.
Scapegoating: The act of blaming an out-group when the in-group experiences frustration or is blocked from obtaining a goal.

Thank you very much for your clarification 👍

[@BhagyashreeURao]

very well explained! thank you! this or such videos should be watched by high school kids, teens and adults too. Just understanding these concepts can help them gain awareness of their own thoughts involving stereotyping, prejudicing or discriminating.

Thank you so much for making it simple to understand the difference between these three terms. They are easy to mix up.

Thanks Daniel!! Explained so well..

[@satinderjit4]

You are awesome! This was very clear to understand. Thanks.

This is a good video. I always say it's not about being racist or hating people because of a person's color of skin. It's more about the cultural differences that lead to issues.

[@ravenmyracle2432]

You’re racist

[@fareeda2195]

Thank you!

[@principlesofeconomics]

Just a quick question on the "Rate-my-professor" project: did you control/standardize the size of each gender group? Any chance there are simply more male professors in all disciplines? Thanks!

[@DanielStorage]

Great question! The bias remains even when female professors are the statistical majority (e.g., as is the case in Psychology, which is about 70% female).

Yes, my heritage is Mexicano , but I love science . Who was wrong, what do I do. Should I stope going to downey library. Need your help.. we all the same?😢

[@mrfunatparties6763]

My dumbass is still mixing stereotype with prejudice. Even tho i know one if thinking it is and the other is convinced it is. Or did i get that wrong too?

[@atorockcliffe53]

Thank you for your videos. I would humbly challenge your definition of prejudice. I do not believe it have to be negative. But, I will defer to you since this is your area of expertise. Again, than you.

Lasst nen Like da, wenn ihr auch wegen der AbiBox hier seit.

[@matoshenrique9297]

Wish you good luck. Nature is revealing herself. You can reason. You will not be aloud to have that thought either. Get married and live with it. See how your science plays out
