Self-regulation of prejudiced responses: Implications for progress in prejudice-reduction efforts

Monteith, Margo J.·1993·Journal of Personality and Social Psychology

Abstract

A model suggesting that prejudice-related discrepancy experiences facilitate prejudice reduction efforts is proposed and tested. Prejudice-related discrepancies concerning gays were activated among low and high prejudiced Ss in 2 experiments. Results indicated that low-prejudiced (LP) Ss' violations of their LP and well-internalized attitudes produced compunction, self- and discrepancy-focused thoughts, attention to discrepancy-relevant information (Experiment 1), and a slowing of responses (Experiment 2). These findings indicated that LP Ss' discrepancies instigated a self-regulatory cycle that, theoretically, should help in achieving control over subsequent prejudiced responses. Evidence of effective self-regulation was found in a task following discrepancy activation

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • When people who endorse values opposed to prejudice believe they have acted with bias, they are motivated to inhibit the expression of implicit bias by seeking out information and putting effort into tasks they believe would help them break the prejudice habit.

    “considerable evidence demonstrates that, when they believe they have acted with bias, people who endorse values opposed to prejudice are motivated to inhibit the expression of implicit bias by seeking out information and putting effort into tasks they believe would help them break the prejudice habit”
  • When people who endorse values opposed to prejudice act with prejudice, they experience guilt, which instigates self-regulatory efforts to disrupt automatic bias and prevent future expressions of bias.

    “when these people act with prejudice, they experience guilt (Devine et al., 1991), which instigates self-regulatory efforts to disrupt automatic bias and prevent future expressions of bias”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
