Скачать или смотреть Social Psychology - Lecture 5 - Part 3 - Stereotype Threat

This video wraps up Lecture 5 in Social Psychology by exploring how stereotypes distort our perceptions and influence behavior, even without conscious intent. Drawing from Social Psychology (10th ed.) by Kassin, Fein, and Markus, this segment introduces cognitive biases like illusory correlation, the self-fulfilling prophecy, and the powerful concept of stereotype threat—which occurs when awareness of a negative group stereotype actually impairs performance. These insights help explain how well-meaning individuals can unintentionally reinforce stereotypes and how psychological pressures can affect behavior in school, work, and social settings.

Key Concepts:
Perceptual bias from stereotypes
Attribution of inconsistent behavior as exceptions
Self-fulfilling prophecy in stereotype maintenance
Illusory correlation (cognitive distortion)
Definition and effects of stereotype threat
Real-world examples of stereotype threat in performance contexts
