Youngblood, Thomas. "Racial Stereotypes and Racial Assimilation in a Multiracial Society." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2009. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc28379/.
Full textAbstract:
Interest in a multiracial society has increased in recent years and including on racism and prejudice and in the propensity to stereotype out-groups. Theories on racism help explain the dominant group's prejudice toward subordinate groups. Yet they only explain why dominant group members stereotype subordinates or if the dominant group's propensity to stereotype is different from that of subordinate groups. Recent assimilation theories suggest that some minorities are assimilating with Whites but Blacks are not undergoing assimilation. Classic assimilation theory suggests that when a subordinate group assimilates with the dominant group then they will also take on the dominant group's values and beliefs, including their prejudices and propensities to stereotype. The use of racial stereotypes in support of the assimilation of a minority group has not been tested. Results from the LSAF national survey provide support for Asians to be assimilating with Whites. However, Hispanics do not appear to be taking on Whites' propensity to stereotype, contradicting the prediction that Hispanics are assimilating with Whites.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aimed to investigate the changing nature, expression and
measurement of contemporary racist attitudes, discriminatory behaviours and racial
stereotypes in an Australian context. The first principal aim of this thesis was to
further establish the psychometric properties of the Symbolic Racism Extended Scale
(Fraser & Islam, 1997b). Study 1 revealed good psychometric properties for the
Symbolic Racism Extended Scale as a measure of symbolic (modern) racist attitudes
in Australian populations. The study also found support for incorporating modern
racism items within a 'social issues' questionnaire format to reduce reactivity
concerns associated with self-report measures.
The second principal aim of this thesis (Studies 2 and 3) was to explore the
nature, prevalence and potential sources of contemporary racist attitudes, and
associated discriminatory behaviours, in an Australian context. Study 2 detected a
sizeable proportion of modern racist attitudes in both the University and ACT
Secondary College student samples. The nature of modern racist attitudes in the
population samples maintained clear consistencies with key tenets of contemporary
theories of racial prejudice. Overall the study provided further empirical evidence of
the nature, tenets and potential socio-demographic sources of modern racist attitudes
in Australian populations.
Study 3 explored modern racists' discriminatory behaviours in conditions of
low racial salience. In an employment-hiring task, high and low prejudiced
participants (university undergraduates) revealed significantly different employment
hiring preferences for an Aboriginal applicant. In providing Australian empirical
evidence of modern racists' discriminatory behaviours, the study also discussed
methodological implications for future Australian research investigating the
discriminatory behaviours of modern racists.
The third principal aim of this thesis was to provide further analysis of the
measurement of contemporary racist attitudes, specifically to examine concerns
pertaining to the measurement of racial attitudes through implicit techniques. Implicit
free-response measurement of Australian racial stereotypes in Study 4 revealed that
high and low prejudiced participants (as measured by the SR-E) were equally
knowledgable of the cultural stereotypes of Aboriginals, Asians and immigrants.
Cultural knowledge of the implicit stereotypes was found to be predominantly
independent of prejudicial beliefs, lending support to concerns (Devine, 1989; Devine
& Elliot, 1995) that implicit measures of racial prejudice may actually be measuring
an individual's cultural knowledge of the primed racial group, rather than his or her
prejudicial beliefs.
The fourth principal aim of this thesis was to investigate the content of
Australian racial stereotypes. Study 4 revealed the implicit content of the cultural
stereotypes of Aborigines, Asians and immigrants to be predominantly negative in
nature. In response to the predominantly negative content of the Aboriginal cultural
stereotype, Study 5 investigated whether the recategorising of ingroup boundaries and
disconfirming information, relating to Aboriginal Australians, observed in the recent
Sydney Olympic Games would result in changes to the content of the cultural
stereotype. The study found significant decreases and increases in the negative and
positive traits respectively reported as being part of the cultural stereotype of
Aborigines, two weeks following the Sydney Olympic Games.
Together, the five studies contributed to empirical research on the changing
nature, expression and measurement of contemporary racist attitudes, discriminatory
behaviours and racial stereotypes in Australian populations. A number of theoretical
and practical implications of the present findings for Australian prejudice research are
addressed and discussed. Furthermore, a number of practical recommendations for
future research are identified to further investigate the modern nature of racist attitudes in Australian populations.

Full textAbstract:
In this dissertation, I present three manuscripts in which I integrate race into an ambivalent sexism framework using experimental, correlational, and cross-sectional methods. The first paper tests whether a female's race acts as a subtype to differentially elicit benevolent sexism (BS). Two experiments demonstrated that BS is more strongly associated with White women than Black women. The second paper explores the relationship between protective paternalism (a subcomponent of BS), anti-minority attitudes, and threat. Threat was associated with stronger endorsement of protective paternalism and a corresponding increase in anti-minority attitudes, particularly for White men, implicating BS in the maintenance of racial inequality. Finally, my third study investigated potential real-world consequences of the differential application of BS to Black and White women in the context of police responses to intimate partner violence (IPV). Officers were more likely to file supplemental paperwork for White victims than Black victims, and were most likely to do so when encountering a White victim and a Black suspect. White victims were also written about with a greater "risk focus", consistent with BS. In sum, chapter II establishes racial differences in who receives BS, chapter III demonstrates how paternalistic protections of White women are racialized, and chapter IV reveals how the intersection of BS with racial stereotypes may impact women seeking help from police. This dissertation is the first investigation in the social psychological literature of how race informs the targets, function, and consequences of BS.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis advisor: Anderson J. Franklin<br>Previous research on intergroup relations between racial groups primarily focused on relations between Whites and various ethnic minority groups, studies on relations between ethnic minorities have been neglected and underexamined (Bikmen, 2011). Allport’s (1954) intergroup contact theory suggested that when the groups in contact are perceived to have similar status, contact could lead to reduced prejudice and improved intergroup relations. Asian Americans and African Americans occupy different status positions on the U.S. racial hierarchy. Although their relative status positions are important factors to consider in understanding their evaluations and interactions with each other, the influence of racial psychological factors are also important to consider because they may influence how status is perceived. Thus, the current study investigated how racial socialization, racial identity, and racial stereotypes influence contact between Asian Americans and African Americans. U.S.-born Asian American (N = 190) and African American (N = 304) adults completed an online survey containing a demographic information sheet, the Racial Socialization Influences Scale (Harrell, 1997), the People of Color Racial Identity Attitudes Scale (Helms, 1995), the Negative Attitude Toward Asians Scale (Ho & Jackson, 2001), the Anti-Black Scale (Katz & Hass, 1988), the Intergroup Contact Measure (Stathi & Crisp, 2010), and the Behavioral Intentions Scale (Esses & Dovidio, 2002). Results from multivariate multiple regression analyses suggested that racial socialization, particularly exposure to racially diverse environments, was positively related to the frequency and quality of contact, as well as willingness to engage in future contact for both Asian Americans and African Americans; whereas race-related discussions was associated with African Americans’ endorsement of Asian stereotypes. In addition, the study showed that racial identity schemas partially mediated the relationship between racial socialization and intergroup contact, and the relationship between racial socialization and racial stereotypes. Finally, findings revealed that African Americans reported more willingness to engage in future contact with Asian Americans than Asian Americans reported with African Americans. Discussions included methodological limitations, and implications for research and practice<br>Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2016<br>Submitted to: Boston College.

Full textAbstract:
Despite changes in the law and efforts by organizational diversity practitioners to expand leadership opportunities for people of color, there is still a sharp contrast in the ratio of white leaders to leaders of color. While much research exists regarding the diversity disparity in leadership, there is little research on factors that influence the motivation to lead. The purpose of this correlational study was to test critical race and leader categorization theories by comparing how the independent variables of white privilege, organizational belongingness, and racial stereotypes affected the dependent variable of motivation to lead of black American versus white American survey respondents. It was hypothesized that the independent variables correlated stronger for white Americans than for black Americans in predicting the motivation to lead. A self-selected sample of 179 adults, drawn from various industries in the United States, completed a voluntary, online survey. A quantitative, cross-sectional survey was designed to operationalize study variables and was adapted from existing instruments. Pearson correlations and a multiple linear regression aided in statistically understanding the variables' relationships. Results indicated that effects of white privilege and racial stereotypes had a statistically significant relationship with motivation to lead for black Americans, and organizational belongingness did not. Results also indicated that effects of racial stereotypes had a significant relationship with motivation to lead for the white American population while the other variables did not. This study has implications for positive social change by not only adding a sharper focus on the factors necessary for leaders of color to be successful, but also providing diversity practitioners a north star to change the leadership landscape.

Thesis, NSUWorks, 2018. https://nsuworks.nova.edu/shss_dcar_etd/117.
Full textAbstract:
Since the election of the first African American president in 2008, race relations have deteriorated in the United States. In May 2017, the emergence of the “alt-right” movement advocating for white nationalism caused further polarization between the races. This transcendental phenomenological research examined how white adult males’ exposure to racist ideologies influenced their perceptions towards African Americans, and how they emancipated from environments that promoted racist tenets. The study was guided by three research questions: How have white males been impacted by their exposure to racial antipathy and discrimination? What events or circumstances have white males experienced that led them to denouncing negative racial stereotypes and/or participation with hate groups? And, what efforts have they made to reconcile with individuals or groups they have harmed in the past? The literature review revealed racial conflict is a social phenomenon evolving from historical narratives posited by fear, social class, and white superiority. By employing qualitative data analysis, interviewing eight participants, and applying the theoretical lenses of critical race theory, social Darwinism, hate theory, and regenerative justice, the primary essence of the phenomenon acknowledged individuals are mentally and emotionally affected by negative historical narratives about racism. Six major themes evolved: 1) Familial Influences, 2) Southern White Experience, 3) Education and Race Relations, 4) Spiritual Convictions, 5) Immersion into the African American Experience, and 6) Physical and Mental Emancipation. The findings in this study contribute to the field of conflict resolution by advocating for advanced exploration into socio-psychology, racial reconciliation, and restorative justice.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation presents a study which aimed at analysing racial prejudice in white and non-white children in the city of Alagoinhas-Bahia. It is particularly verified the stereotypes attributed to black and white people groups and racial discrimination. In order to achieve those objectives, the main concepts and researches on the theme were analysed as well as an empirical study presented in three chapters, besides the introduction and final considerations. In the introduction, general aspects on prejudice in society are presented as well as the organization of the text. In Chapter I, the racial prejudice and its main aspects are debated. In Chapter II, the socialisation of prejudice and prejudice during childhood are discussed. In Chapter III, the methodological aspects of the empirical study are presented, and this study had a sample of 112 children aged 5 to 12 years. In Chapter IV, the main results and discussion were presented. The results of the empirical study related to the stereotypes evidenced that regardless the skin colour, the participants attributed more negative traits to black people than white ones. Moreover, younger children attributed more negative traits than older children. Concerning preferences, the participants preferred white children, and younger children choose the white ones to be their sibling, friend or to give the sweet. Overall, it was observed that the participants discriminate the black target and younger children discriminate more in comparison to older ones. These results were discussed based on the theories of socialisation of prejudice. Finally, in the final considerations, the implications of these results are discussed in relation to studies on prejudice during childhood and some thoughts on future studies.<br>A presente dissertação apresenta um estudo que teve o objetivo de analisar o preconceito racial em crianças brancas e não brancas da cidade de Alagoinhas-Bahia. Especificamente, verificam-se os estereótipos atribuídos aos grupos negro e branco; as preferências para os grupos branco e negro; e a discriminação racial. Para atingir esses objetivos procedeu-se a uma análise dos principais conceitos e pesquisas sobre o tema, assim como um estudo empírico que são apresentados em três capítulos, e ainda a introdução e as considerações finais. Na introdução, apresentam-se os aspectos gerais sobre o fenômeno do preconceito na sociedade e fazemos a organização da dissertação. No Capítulo I, aborda-se o preconceito racial e seus principais componentes. No Capítulo II, discute-se a socialização do preconceito e o preconceito na infância. No Capítulo III, apresenta-se os aspectos metodológicos do estudo empírico, que contou com uma amostra de 112 crianças com idades entre 5 e 12 anos. No capítulo IV, apresentam-se, ainda, os principais resultados e a discussão. Os resultados do estudo empírico ao nível dos estereótipos demonstraram que independentemente da cor da pele as participantes atribuíram mais traços negativos do que positivo ao negro do que ao branco; crianças mais novas atribuíram mais traços negativos ao negro do que as crianças mais velhas. Com relação às preferências, as participantes demostraram preferência para o branco; e crianças mais novas mais do que as mais velhas escolhem o branco para irmão, amigo e dar o doce. Observou-se, ainda, que, de maneira geral, as participantes discriminam o alvo negro; crianças mais novas discriminariam o alvo negro comparativamente às mais velhas. Esses resultados foram discutidos com base nas teorias da socialização do preconceito. E, finalmente, nas considerações finais, discutem-se as implicações desses resultados para os estudos sobre o preconceito na infância e os apontamentos para estudos futuros.<br>São Cristóvão, SE

Full textAbstract:
<p> Despite increased numbers of intercultural couples in the United States, data shows that the pairing of non-Hispanic Black-White interracial couples falls short on all scales (Pew Research Center, 2012). The number of cohabitating interracial couples is almost double the number of married interracial couples; however, they have the lowest rates of marriage and are more likely to divorce when compared to all other intercultural couples. To determine what non-Hispanic Black-White interracial couples must do to strengthen and maintain their relationships, this study interviewed seven cohabitating couples. The qualitative analysis revealed five themes: Culture, Secure Attachment, Communication, Authenticity, and Humor. The themes and implications for couple therapy and future research are also discussed.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Aquesta tesi vol demostrar que Joseph Conrad i William Faulkner, en les novel·les Lord Jim i Absalom, Absalom! respectivament, reflexionen sobre la credibilitat de la veu en la ficció i del discurs racial per mitjà de l'exploració tècnica de la veu narrativa i dels estereotips racials. Nascuda de les crisis històriques que giren al voltant de les relacions racials, patides al si de l'Imperi Britànic de finals del segle XIX i al Sud dels Estats Units durant la dècada de 1930, l'articulació d'aquests dos aspectes en les novel·les permet una representació de les qüestions racials que és innovadora i ambivalent. Certament, la interrogació de la credibilitat dels discursos, tan comú en la novel·la moderna, porta a la sofisticació tant de les estratègies narratives que exploren el problema de la fiabilitat en la ficció com de l'ús dels estereotips racials a dins de la narració, entesos, doncs, com a formes narratives. És justament en l'anàlisi de les correspondències entre els aspectes històrics i els aspectes formals on la tesi troba la manera complexa en què aquestes dues novel·les expressen les tensions racials pròpies dels contextos històrics que les engendren.<br>This dissertation intends to demonstrate that Joseph Conrad's novel Lord Jim and William Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom! explore the narrative strategy of narrative voice, on the one hand, and racial stereotypes, on the other, in order to reflect upon the credibility of voice in fiction as well as the trustworthiness of racial discourse. Emerging from the historical ideological crisis that involved race relations in the late nineteenth-century British Empire, and in the 1930s U.S. South, the blending of these two aspects allowed an alternative and ambivalent representation of racial issues in fiction. The interrogation of credibility, very common in the Modern novel, results in these novels in a sophistication of the strategies that address the problem of narrative reliability, and of the use of racial stereotypes for narrative purposes in other words, their conception as narrative forms. By paying attention to these two aspects, this thesis claims that it is in the analysis of their intertwining where we may find the expression of the historical tension born of complex race relations.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail doctoral s'intéresse au phénomène de catégorisation et de stéréotypie à l'oeuvre lorsque se joue la discrimination relative à l'appartenance ethnique au basket-ball. Dans une première phase réalisée en milieu naturel (racial stacking dans le championnat de basket-ball professionnel français), une première étude met en évidence une tendance à la surreprésentation des joueurs " blancs " au poste de meneur, considéré comme central au regard de la performance. Dans une seconde phase s'articlant autour de trois expériences, en impliquant des sujets (sportifs et non sportifs) en tant qu'entraîneurs dans un contexte expérimental, sont mis en évidence l'existence de biais de catégorisation (racial stacking), de stéréotypes (attribution de caractéristiques en adéquation avec les stéréotypes raciaux) et de discours (implication plus favorable dans les discours pour un joueur blanc que pour un joueur noir). Contrairement aux hypothèses attendues, les sujets qui appartiennent au milieu sportif mobilisent plus fortement les stéréotypes raciaux que les sujets non sportifs. Dans une troisième phase, une étude à propos du concept de centralité au basket-ball permet de déterminer que les postes de meneur de jeu et d'arrière (extérieurs) sont considérés comme plus centraux que les postes d'ailier fort et de pivot (intérieur) et le poste d'ailier comme polyvalent (à la fois central et non central). Dans une quatrième phase, nous avons mis en exergue que les biais de catégorisation et de stéréotypie peuvent être activés dans un univers virtuel dans lequel les joueurs ont des capacités équivalentes (jeu vidéo). Les effets de discrimination (favoritisme endogroupe) sont potentialisés par l'issue positive du match. Dans une cinquième phase, à travers l'accès à la nature des relations entre basketteurs blancs et basketteurs noirs, alors que de prime abord les résultats semblent mettre en évidence une discrimination positive à l'égard des basketteurs noirs, l'analyse fait apparaître un effet de survalorisation à l'avantage des basketteurs blancs (biais d'auto-favoritisme), considérés comme plus prépondérants dans leur équipe que leurs homologues noirs. Enfin, dans une dernière phase ayant pour objectif de tester les effets de la menace du stéréotype sur la performance (aspect moteur) et le discours (aspect cognitif), les résultats ne mettent pas en évidence d'effet de la menace du stéréotype. L'évaluation entraîne une amélioration de la performance chez les joueurs noirs alors qu'elle n'a pas d'effet sur les joueurs blancs. De plus, les joueurs noirs verbalisent le stéréotype comme un boost, alors que pour les joueurs blancs, il est considéré comme un frein. En conclusion, ce travail doctoral démontre l'importance d'une investigation plurielle afin d'approfondir la compréhension des phénomènes de discrimination en sport

Previous issue date: 2016-08-29<br>This dissertation seeks to deepen the understanding of how the phenomenon of prejudice and racial discrimination is developed, perceived and faced in brick and mortar stores during the consumer and seller interaction. The comparison of existing knowledge in the literature, combined with an interpretative qualitative empirical research performed with black consumers in the metropolitan area of São Paulo, has generated valuable contributions to the understanding of the theme in question, and to put in question current consumer approach practices adopted by the retailers. It is found that this phenomenon, in the way it is perceived in the context of this research, in some cases shows different of some proposals presented in the literature. Among the four main themes that emerged, some aspects are highlighted: 1) while recognizing the existence of the phenomenon and despite the reports that make them evident, most respondents hesitate and deny its occurrence with themselves, transmitting great discomfort in dealing with the issue; 2) it is noticed that the mechanisms of social categorization based on social identity theory (SIT), the theoretical framework adopted in this research, operate in the context studied, but are insufficient to understand how being the agent (the seller) of the same group (ingroup) of the target (the final consumer) discriminatory behaviors are still perceived against them; 3) given the perception that the phenomenon manifests itself in its most subtle forms, the main dilemma experienced by respondents is to distinguish a bad service from a discriminatory treatment; and 4) besides the prevalence of passive reactions to the phenomenon, there is great importance attached by respondents to the appearance and self-image adjustments, as a defense mechanism to deal with possible incidents of prejudice and discrimination. The phenomenon in question in the retail environment is a serious problem that mainly affects the target, but also impacts everyone involved and seems to pervade other social spheres. The difficulties to face it range from the dubious way by which it usually manifests, hindering its recognition, to the often seemingly passive reactions from the target. From these findings, the dissertation draws attention to the relevant and unpublished aspects on consumer-seller interaction in physical stores, not yet explored in the Brazilian context and that need to be deepened. As managerial implications, the research calls attention of the retailers about the importance of formulating strategies to prepare physical stores sales teams to face properly the threats posed by the phenomenon. Finally, in terms of public policies, the results contribute to the improvement of not only educational communication efforts aimed to a fairer consumption relationship between consumers and sellers, but also to reduce the existing and still intense phenomenon of racial prejudice and discrimination in Brazil.<br>Esta dissertação busca aprofundar o entendimento sobre como se manifesta, é percebido e enfrentado pelos consumidores o fenômeno do preconceito e da discriminação racial em lojas físicas, durante sua interação com vendedores. A comparação do conhecimento existente na literatura, combinado a uma pesquisa empírica de natureza qualitativa interpretativista realizada com consumidores negros da região metropolitana (RM) de São Paulo, gerou valiosas contribuições ao entendimento do tema em questão e colocou em xeque algumas práticas de abordagem de consumidores adotadas atualmente nos pontos de venda. Verifica-se que esse fenômeno da forma como é percebido no contexto desta pesquisa mostra-se em alguns casos diferente de algumas proposições apresentadas na literatura. Entre os quatro principais temas que emergiram, alguns aspectos se destacam: 1) apesar de reconhecer a existência do fenômeno e a despeito dos relatos que o evidenciam, a maioria dos entrevistados hesita e nega sua ocorrência consigo mesmo, transparecendo grande desconforto em tratar do tema; 2) observa-se que os mecanismos de categorização social da teoria da identidade social (SIT), referencial teórico adotado nessa pesquisa, operam no contexto estudado, mas se mostram insuficientes para o entendimento de como o agente (vendedor), sendo do mesmo grupo (ingroup) que o alvo (consumidor final), ainda assim são percebidos comportamentos discriminatórios; 3) dada a percepção que o fenômeno se manifesta nas suas formas mais sutis, o principal dilema vivido pelos entrevistados consiste em distinguir um mau atendimento de um atendimento discriminatório; e 4) além da prevalência das reações passivas ao fenômeno, destaca-se a importância atribuída pelos entrevistados à aparência e aos ajustes de autoimagem, como mecanismo de defesa para lidar com possíveis incidentes de preconceito e discriminação. O fenômeno em questão no ambiente de varejo é um grave problema que, além de afetar o alvo, impacta todos os envolvidos e parece permear outras esferas sociais. As dificuldades para o seu enfrentamento vão desde a forma dúbia como geralmente se manifesta, dificultando seu reconhecimento, até a maneira frequente e aparentemente passiva como o alvo reage. A partir dessas constatações, a dissertação chama a atenção para aspectos relevantes e inéditos, relativos à interação consumidor-vendedor em lojas físicas, ainda não explorados no contexto brasileiro e que precisam ser aprofundados. Como implicações de ordem gerencial, a pesquisa alerta os varejistas sobre a importância da formulação de estratégias capazes de preparar as equipes de vendas das lojas físicas a enfrentar de forma adequada as ameaças decorrentes deste fenômeno. Por fim, em termos de políticas públicas, os resultados da pesquisa contribuem para o aprimoramento dos esforços de comunicação educativa, com vistas a estimular não só uma relação de consumo mais justa entre consumidores e vendedores, mas também reduzir o ainda intenso fenômeno do preconceito e da discriminação racial no Brasil.

Full textAbstract:
Peruvian mass media has failed in addressing and representing the cultural and ethnic diversity of its country, as the presence and representation of ethnic minorities (indigenous and Afro-Peruvian) are almost exclusively reduced to the reproduction of stereotypes in comedy shows, in which they are often racialized and the target of offenses directly related with their ethnic identities. The analysis will focus on the figure of El Negro Mama, a very popular character in Peruvian television thought to be a portrait of the Afro-Peruvian population. Through the use of textual analysis, the paper will explore of this character in order to determine the performativity of blackness in national television and the use of racist discourses in the national media and their direct relation with the reproduction of stereotypes and racist language. The research, then, seeks to provide an analysis of the transformation of the discourses that this character produced to show the variations of the racist discourse affecting this ethnic group and the transformation of the portrayals and interactions of the character when publicly rejected by the Afro-Peruvian civil society.

Full textAbstract:
Despite a narrowing trend over the past forty years, the racial academic performance gap between non-Asian-American minority students and European-American students remains an overarching issue in K-12 schooling according to the Stanford Center for Education Policy Analysis (2017). Du Bois’s (1903) theory of double consciousness is implicated in the performance gap phenomenon. Though not explicitly connected, Steele and Aronson’s 1995 study revealed stereotype threat (STT) to be an empirical explanation of the negative impact of double consciousness. Steele et al.’s study revealed a psycho-social contributor to the racial academic performance gap, STT. STT is characterized by performance suppression caused by the fear of fulfilling a negative stereotype or the fear of being judged based on a negative stereotype attributed to one’s social identity group. The activation of this phenomenon is related to identity threatening cues, a systemic issue laden in the academic environment (Purdie-Vaughns, Steele, Davies, Ditlmann, & Crosby, 2008). To date, over 300 studies have been conducted on STT according to a meta-analysis conducted by Pennington, Heim, Levy, and Larkin (2016). Though certain experimental studies featuring mentoring as a vehicle for shifting stereotype narratives have yielded useful practices for STT reduction (Good et al., 2003), qualitative design, which is seldomly employed in the STT field, may produce an understanding of the phenomenon that is not possible through a deductive approach (Ezzy, 2002; van Kaam, 1966). The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore African-American adolescent student perceptions of the impact that mentoring has on their schooling experiences while under STT conditions. The findings of this study demonstrated that African-American adolescents perceived mentoring to positively impact their schooling experiences and helped them to cope with STT activating cues in the environment. The participants discussed structural aspects of the relationships, personality attributes of the mentor, and specific mentor guidance. Participants also discussed a documented STT intervention that fell outside of the parameters of their mentoring relationships that positively impacted their schooling experiences and abilities to cope with STT cues – affirmations (Cohen, Garcia, Apfel, & Master, 2006; Walton et al., 2012). Recommendations for practice and future research are presented.

This thesis analyzes rape coverage in a Grahamstown newspaper, Grocott’s Mail. Critical discourse analysis is used to discuss and analyze articles about rape that appear in Grocott’s Mail between October 14th 2008 and October 29th 2009. Drawing on existing literature on ‘rape myths’ in media coverage of rape, this thesis argues that Grocott’s Mail perpetuates racial and gender stereotypes through the way in which it reports on rape. While not all of the articles included in the analysis use rape myths, most use one or more when discussing rape incidents. Specifically, Grocott’s Mail tends to use rape myths that blame the victim for the rape and de-emphasize the role of the perpetrator in the rape. This is problematic as it sustains existing racial and gender inequalities.

Previous issue date: 2005<br>Essa dissertação analisa alguns textos do escritor afro-brasileiro Lima Barreto, a partir de uma abordagem que leva em consideração a posição do escritor no início do século XX, fazendo aproximações com os Estudos Culturais e as teorias sobre “entre-lugar”. Para tanto, alguns textos foram lidos como momentos de desvios e rupturas do discurso do escritor em relação aos discursos que inferiorizaram o afro-brasileiro e contribuíram para a sua permanência nos lugares mais desprestigiados do espaço social. Os objetivos principais desse trabalho são estudar analítica e criticamente trechos da produção textual do autor, apreciar representações dos afro-brasileiros e de suas relações sociais no período pósabolição, elaboradas pelo escritor que transitava entre o mundo culto das Letras e o mundo proletarizado dos subúrbios, bem como analisar alguns contos, focalizando o modo como são representadas as mulheres afro-brasileiras no contexto das relações sociais, profissionais e pessoais.<br>Bahia

Full textAbstract:
A police approach usually starts with the traditional sentence "Stop, it's the police!" All the following procedures are, in principle, defined as "security measures" learned during professional qualification as "approach technique", present in practically all programs and military training. Although the procedures of the police approach are pre-defined in technical training manuals, the definition of who will be approached is an open question, influenced by factors internalized many times in automatic processes, without conscious control, and comes from a representation of the suspect, which affects social judgments. With that, this work aims to analyze the stereotypes that the military police of the State of Sergipe have about the suspect and its implications in the police activity. The research was composed by three studies. Study 1 examined the stereotypes police officers attribute to suspects considering their skin color and social status. Studies 2 and 3, using a technique of analysis of automatic response processes, analyzed the shooting decision on armed or disarmed suspects, whites or blacks, Military Police officers in the early stages of professional training or others with ten years or more of professional performance. The results of Study 1 indicate that there is an association between poverty and suspicion, on the one hand, and between skin color and poverty on the other. Studies 2 and 3 indicated the presence of "shooter bias", that is, the tendency to shoot faster and more accurately on black armed suspects than white suspects; as well as the quickest decision not to shoot unarmed suspects of white color than black. The results are discussed in light of the theories of social and cognitive psychology.<br>Uma abordagem policial geralmente se inicia com a frase tradicional “Pare, é a polícia!” Todos os procedimentos que vêm a seguir são, em princípio, definidos como “medidas de segurança” aprendidas durante a formação profissional como “técnica de abordagem”, presente em praticamente todos os cursos e formação militar. Ainda que os procedimentos da abordagem policial estejam pré-definidos em manuais técnicos de formação, a definição de quem será abordado é uma questão aberta, influenciada por fatores interiorizados muitas vezes em processos automáticos, sem controle consciente, e que decorrem de uma representação do suspeito que afeta os julgamentos sociais. Com isso, este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar os estereótipos que os policiais militares do Estado de Sergipe possuem acerca do suspeito e suas implicações na atividade policial. A pesquisa foi composta por três estudos. O estudo 1 analisou os estereótipos que os policiais atribuem aos suspeitos considerando a sua cor da pele e estrato social. Os estudos 2 e 3, utilizando uma técnica de análise de processos automáticos de resposta, analisaram a decisão de tiro em suspeitos armados ou desarmados, brancos ou negros, de Policiais Militares em fase inicial de formação profissional e outros com dez anos ou mais de atuação profissional. Os resultados do Estudo 1 indicam que há uma associação entre pobreza e suspeição, por um lado, e entre cor da pele e pobreza, por outro. Os estudos 2 e 3 indicaram a presença de “shooter bias”, ou seja, a tendência a atirar mais rapidamente e com maior precisão em suspeitos armados de cor negra do que nos de cor branca; bem como a decisão mais rápida de não atirar em suspeitos desarmados de cor branca que de cor negra. Os resultados são discutidos à luz das teorias da psicologia social e cognitiva.<br>São Cristóvão, SE

In Boston Massachusetts, Black and White women aged 50-74, experience limited access to breast cancer screening. The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate whether there is a correlation between breast cancer screening access to personal healthcare providers among Black and White women, aged 50- 74, in Boston, MA. The study focused on whether there was a correlation between breast cancer screening access and socioeconomic status among women, and whether a correlation existed between breast cancer screening and their educational levels. The study was informed by the health belief psychological framework. The study consisted of secondary data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System with a sample size of n =1815, 18 years and above. Exclusion criteria consisted of adults under age 40, women above age 74 diagnosed with cancer, and had mastectomies previously. A chi square test examined the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. The key results showed a significant relation between race and access to healthcare providers. The study also found a significant relationship between low income levels and limited access. The study results portrayed a nonsignificant relationship between breast cancer screening and educational levels among black and white women. The results concluded that access to healthcare providers was significant among the races as well as their income levels. The study contributes to social change by promoting awareness through education of individuals, communities, organizations and the society at large.

O presente trabalho tem como principal objetivo estudar a participação do negro na publicidade brasileira entre os anos de 1985 e 2005, buscando não apenas mensurar sua presença nos anúncios desse período, mas também identificar e analisar os estereótipos mais comuns sob os quais aparece representado. A hipótese que buscamos comprovar é a de que a imagem do negro na publicidade do final do século XX e início do século XXI é baseada em representações pejorativas e subalternizantes construídas socialmente ainda no século XIX. Para tanto, iniciamos nossa dissertação examinando o surgimento do pensamento racista no Brasil (por volta de 1850) e sua conseqüente materialização em projetos políticos conservadores e eugenistas que tinham como meta a constituição de um país branco. Num segundo momento, procuramos trabalhar com a influência desse pensamento na produção cultural oitocentista com especial atenção à literatura, à imprensa escrita e aos anúncios de jornal discutindo também os modos de consolidação e perpetuação dos estereótipos no transcorrer do século XX. O passo seguinte consistiu na análise das imagens que compõe nossa amostra, buscando apontar rupturas e permanências tanto em relação ao passado oitocentista como dentro do balizamento proposto. A escolha do período indicado (1985-2005) deu-se em razão de sua importância no contexto da luta anti-racista, e nossa amostra teve como fonte documental a revista Veja, tendo em vista a relevância da publicação e também o grande valor que certas pesquisas conferem à publicidade veiculada em revistas. Por fim, convém esclarecer que o foco na publicidade deve-se à importância desse segmento no universo dos meios de comunicação, seja como esteio financeiro, seja como vetor de idéias e comportamentos.<br>This presented work has as a main objective the study of the Afro-Americans participation in Brazilian advertisement from years 1985 to 2005, searching not only their appearance in advertisement during this period, but also identifying and analising the most common stereotypes they are impersonating. The hypothesis we want to prove is that the black people image presented in advertisement from the end of the 20th century to the beginning of the 21st century is based upon depreciative and subalterning representations socially built during the 19th century. To do so, we will start our dissertation examining the arise of racist thoughts in Brazil (circa 1850) and the outcome as eugenist and conservative political projects that had a formation of a white country as their target. Hereafter, we will work about the influence of these thoughts in the cultural production of the 19th century with special focus to literature, press, and newspaper advertisements also debating the consolidating and perpetuating means of the stereotypes through the 20th century. The following step consisted in the analysis of those images that make our sample, searching breaches and remainings not only related to the 19th century past but also inside the proposed framework. The chosen period (1985-2005) is related to the importance in the anti-racist fight context, and our sample had as the main documental source Veja magazine, not only because of the publication weightiness, but also for the importance of certain researches give to advertisements carried in magazines. Lastly, shall we clarify that the centre of interest is advertisement due to the importance given for this industry among the communication means as a whole, as a financial prop or as a ideas and behavior agent.

<p> The effects of a six-week mindfulness class on racial stereotype bias, attention, and working memory was measured by the Implicit Association Test (IAT), Attention Network Task (ANT), and Automated Operation Span Task, respectively. Explicit racism (Modern Racism Scale, Right-Wing Authoritarianism, Social Dominance Orientation), mindfulness (Five-Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire), depression, anxiety, and stress (Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale) were also examined. Sixty traditional-aged undergraduate women participated in this study (20 completed the mindfulness course and the remaining completed a non-MBSR physical education course). The results revealed that training was not associated with decreased racial stereotype bias on the IAT. Training was associated with increased performance in attention-switching on the ANT. In both groups, explicit racism and working memory predicted racial bias at time 1, and explicit racism predicted change in racial bias between times 1 and 2. Unexpectedly, increase in mindfulness (FFMQ) approached prediction of an increase in racial bias across both groups. In summary, the findings contradict the hypothesis that participation in a six-week mindfulness course will reduce stereotype application and activation.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MPhil)--University of Stellenbosch, 2005.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of this assignment is to examine two investigative journalism programmes in South
Africa, namely Carte Blanche and SpecialAssignment in order to ascertain whether two South
African policing organisations have been subjected to racist stereotyping on these two
programmes. Both these programmes are held in high esteem within South African and
international media circles. Carte Blanche has won many awards, such as the prestigious eNN
African Journalist of the Year Award in 2002. Special Assignment won the equivalent award in
2001. The approaches and styles in revealing the truth by using investigative forms of journalism
are however slightly different. Both Carte Blanche and Special Assignment have produced
stories from August 2003 to September 2004 that have exposed corruption within the South
African policing organisations. Many of the perpetrators within the police force were identified
as people of colour. This assignment therefore aims to discover whether racist stereotyping exists
in this niche of investigative journalism television programmes. This opens up the possibility for
these portrayals to be seen as stereotypical, since the dominant press codes in South Africa
stipulates that reference to 'race' in news reporting should only be done where it will contribute
significantly to understanding the subject matter or if the reference to the race of the person is
particularly applicable. This assignment aims to discover whether racist stereotyping exists in
this niche of investigative journalism television programmes.
The research method comprised analysing programmes on Carte Blanche and Special
Assignment that dealt with the South African policing organisations from August 2003 to
September 2004. The original transcripts of the programmes were retrieved from the relevant
websites of Carte Blanche and Special Assignment and have also been studied. Sources on media
ethics as well as newspaper and magazine articles dealing with the South African policing
organisations, crime and corruption were scrutinized in order to provide background information
for the study. The analyses of the programmes was complemented by interviews conducted with
the investigative journalists at the helm of the two programmes, namely, Ruda Landman from
Carte Blanche and Jessica Pitchford from Special Assignment.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie studie is om twee ondersoekende joernalistiekprogramme in Suid-Afrika,
naamlik Carte Blanche en Special Assignment, te ondersoek ten einde vas te stelof die Suid-
Afrikaanse polisiëringsorganisasies in dié twee programme aan rassestereotipering onderhewig
is. Albei dié programme word hoog geag in Suid-Afrikaanse en internasionale mediakringe.
Carte Blanche het reeds verskeie toekennings gewen, soos die toonaangewende eNN Afrikajoernalis
van die Jaar Toekenning in 2002. Special Assignment het hierdie toekenning in 2001
gewen. Die benaderings en styl wat tydens die bekendmaking van die waarheid gevolg word
deur die toepassing van ondersoekende vorme van joernalistiek verskil egter effe. Sowel Carte
Blanche as Special Assignment het van Augustus 2003 tot September 2004 stories opgelewer wat
korrupsie in die Suid-Afrikaanse polisiëringsorganisasies aan die kaak gestel het. Baie van die
skuldiges in die polisiemag is geïdentifiseer as gekleurde mense. Hierdie studie beoog dus om
vas te stel of daar rassestereotipering in hierdie afdeling van televisieprogramme met betrekking
tot ondersoekende joernalistiek bestaan.
Ondersoekende joernalistiek is ongetwyfeld een van die stimulerendste afdelings van die
joernalistiek. Dit is 'n uitgesproke vorm van joernalistiek wat die vermoë het om die samelewing
te beïnvloed. Ondersoekende joernalistiek maak gewoonlik misdrywe aan die publiek bekend.
Die konsekwente uitbeelding van gekleurde mense op 'n negatiewe wyse sou kon lei tot die
inboet van etiese waardes en dus tot rassestereotipering.
Die navorsingsmetode het behels dat daar van Augustus 2003 tot September 2004 na programme
oor die Suid-Afrikaanse polisiëringsorganisasies op Carte Blanche en Special Assignment gekyk
is en dat dit op band opgeneem is. Die oorspronklike transkripsies van die programme is van
Carte Blanche en Special Assignment se onderskeie webtuistes verkry en word as bylaes by
hierdie studie aangeheg. Bronne oor media-etiek asook koerant- en tydskrifartikels wat oor die
Suid-Afrikaanse polisiëringsorganisasies, misdaad en korrupsie handel, is noukeurig nagegaan.
'n Persoonlike onderhoud is met Ruda Landman van Carte Blanche gevoer, en met Jessica
Pitchford van Special Assignment is 'n onderhoud per e-pos gevoer. Landman en Pitchford was
albei betrokke by die samestelling van die betrokke

It examines the discursive inventions and reinventions of Pakeha-Māori from the stereotypical images of the Victorian era to modern times when the contact zone has become a subject of critical investigation and a sign of changing intellectual dynamics in New Zealand and elsewhere. This thesis is about the history of attitudes to culture-crossers in New Zealand, the use of the term 'Pakeha-Māori', and the images that underlie the thinking of Britons and Pakeha about them. It explores the motives and backgrounds of specific authors and the ways in which they frame New Zealand history. It elucidates the ambiguous and contradictory perspectives of Pakeha-Māori in the literature and analyses its impact on changing public perceptions about them. The study critiques the literature with emphasis on theoretically informed research, historical analysis, and literary insights. Discussion is confined to published texts, with the aim of exploring the multiplicity of Pakeha-Māori images and the processes that gave rise to them. This study is essentially an investigation into how and why historians and other scholars try to draw boundaries between cultures in order to create a satisfactory metanarrative or myth of the 'settlement' of New Zealand and thus to forge a sense of New Zealandness. The cultural and racial categories of 'Māori' and 'Pakeha' are very unstable, however, and a consideration of the 'in-between' or 'culture-crossing' category of 'Pakeha-Māori' can reveal the way in which 'Māori' and 'Pakeha' and a sense of New Zealand and New Zealanders have been constructed. More particularly, consideration of representations of those culture-crossers or race-crossers called Pakeha-Māori can reveal the hopes and fears of Pakeha writers regarding Pakeha, Māori and New Zealand and how Pakeha-Māori have frequently been a barometer or litmus test of public perceptions of relations between Māori and Pakeha in different historical periods.

The purpose of this study was to study experiences of everyday racism in individuals with overseas cultural backgrounds from outside situations. The study was made with five qualitative interviews. Theories that’s been used are about everyday racism, stereotypes, symbolic interactionism and Cooleys looking glass self. The result show that all the respondents have experienced everyday racism in a variety of situations in different places/environments. They have described situations where they have been ignored/excluded, stereotyped, exposed of grossly words and prejudices about their personality. Symbolic interactionism can explain everyday racism based on how the situations are defined, how situations change, which affects the interaction depending on how specific strong symbols are understood; like skin tone and a person looks.<br>Syftet med studien är att studera upplevelser av vardagsrasism hos individer med utomeuropeiska kulturella bakgrunder. Teori som använts är hur vardagsrasism kan förstås, stereotyper, symbolisk interaktionism gällande fem hörnstenar och Cooleys spegeljag. Det har gjorts fem kvalitativa intervjustudier där det framkommer att vardagsrasism sker på de flesta samhällsområdena i vardagslivet med undantag för fredade zoner som förorter. I intervjuerna framkom det att vardagsrasismen uttrycks genom exkludering, stereotypifiering, grova glåpord som till exempel blatte och svartskalle, fördomar om ens personlighet och att göras annorlunda/olik andra. Med symbolisk interaktionism kan vardagsrasismen förstås med hur situationer är föränderliga som påverkar interaktionen vilket beror på särskilda symboler; som hudfärg och utseende.

Textbooks newly approved for use in secondary schools in Alberta reflect the belief that not only does literature have the power to change and shape our thinking, but also that the non-White voices of our culture need to be heard if Canada is to become a country which truly welcomes and values cultural diversity. The realization that many high school students in the Crowsnest Pass area of Southern Alberta hold negative stereotypes about Canadian Aboriginal people prompted this study which measured how effective studying literature written mainly by Canadian Aboriginal people is as a means of anti-racist education. Forty-three students in grade 10, 11, and 12, 22 females and 21 males, participated in the study. Both quantitative and qualitative research methods were used. Quantitative data, collected from responses on a gender-specific, six-item social scenarios scale, measured the extent to which students were prejudiced against Aboriginal people as pre- and post-tests. Written responses, field notes, journal entries, and interviews provided qualitative data. Though the quantitative evidence is not statistically significant, students in grades 10 and 12 showed decreased post-test scores, while those in grade 11 increased. Within each grade, individual students showed significant attitude changes. In all grades, female students had significantly lower scores than males, both pre- and post-test, evidence that there are perhaps different stages of moral development in females, as suggested by Belenky, clinchy, Goldberger, and Tarula (1986) and Gilligan (1982), than the male stages identified by Kohlberg (1969, 1981). Qualitative data revealed an increased understanding of Aboriginal issues and student attempts to view the world from a non-White perspective. Central to the study are my efforts to come to terms with my own Whiteness as well as help students understand their own positions of White privilege. This process was an emotional and disturbing experience for us all, yet one that brought growth and engendered
important learning. I remain firmly committed to the need to adopt a strong anti-racist stance (rather than a multicultural one) and address racism directly in the classroom. Though difficult, it is perhaps the most important work that I, or any other teacher, may do.<br>xviii, 163 leaves ; 28 cm.

Den här studien har för avsikt att belysa och behandla hur en allmänhet kan tänkas uppfatta och förhålla sig till fördomar, rasism och diskriminering. Hur uppfattningar om etnicitet, ras och nationalitet, relaterar till kulturella skillnader och hur andrafiering och stereotyper motiveras och betraktas. Informanterna i studien visar generellt en stor tolerans mot andra men visar också tydliga tendenser till andrafiering och ingruppsbias. I sina tolkningar av ”den kulturellt andre” märks att de baserar sina antaganden och resonemang på individuella och kollektiva gruppstereotyper. De accepterar inte interpersonella uttryck för rasism och diskriminering men är relativt omedvetna om vad som skapar strukturell diskriminering och de är också mer toleranta mot diskriminering motiverat av vinstintresse.<br>Through this study I will attempt to show how a public might understand and relate to prejudice, racism and discrimination. How perceptions about ethnicity, race and nationality relate to cultural differences and how othering and stereotypes are being motivated by the informants and how they view them. The participating informants generally show significant tolerance towards others, but also show clear tendencies of othering and in-group bias. In their interpretation of “the cultural other”, assumptions and reasoning suggests that they are based on collective and individual group stereotypes. They do not accept interpersonal racism and discrimination but are seemingly unaware of what constitutes and creates structural discrimination and they are more tolerant towards discrimination based on economic interest.
