The Evolution of Intergroup Bias: Perceptions and Attitudes in Rhesus Macaques ATTITUDES AND SOCIAL COGNITION The Evolution of Intergroup Bias: Perceptions and Attitudes in Rhesus Macaques Neha Mahajan, Margaret A. Martinez, and Gil Diesendruck Natashya L. Gutierrez Bar-Ilan University Yale University Mahzarin R. Banaji Laurie R. Santos Harvard University Yale University Social psychologists have learned a great deal about the nature of intergroup conflict and the attitudinal and cognitive processes that enable it. Less is known about where these processes come from in the first place. In particular, do our strategies for dealing with other groups emerge in the absence of human-specific experi- ences? One profitable way to answer this question has involved administering tests that are conceptual equivalents of those used with adult humans in other species, thereby exploring the continuity or discontinuity of psychological processes. We examined intergroup preferences in a nonhuman species, the rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta). We found the first evidence that a nonhuman species automatically distinguishes the faces of members of its own social group from those in other groups and displays greater vigilance toward outgroup members (Experiments 1–3). In addition, we observed that macaques spontaneously associate novel objects with specific social groups and display greater vigilance to objects associated with outgroup members (Experiments 4–5). Finally, we developed a looking time procedure—the Looking Time Implicit Association Test, which resembles the Implicit Association Test (Greenwald & Banaji, 1995)—and we discovered that macaques, like humans, automatically evaluate ingroup members positively and outgroup members negatively (Experiments 6–7). These field studies represent the first controlled experiments to examine the presence of intergroup attitudes in a nonhuman species. As such, these studies suggest that the architecture of the mind that enables the formation of these biases may be rooted in phylogenetically ancient mechanisms.

  • The Psychology of Cultural Contact
    1 THE PSYCHOLOGY OF CULTURAL CONTACT Deborah A. Prentice and Dale T. Miller thnic diversity currently preoccupies a sizable segment of U.S. society, from employers and school administrators, who must E manage diversity within institutional settings, to politicians and social scientists, who must formulate policies for addressing the com- peting claims of different ethnic groups. The issue of diversity is fraught with anxiety. Ethnic conflicts in many countries around the world attest to the potential for relations across cultural boundaries to go seriously and destructively awry. Moreover, Americans' own struggles with race have left many pessimistic about the prospects for achieving positive, stable relations between ethnic groups. With new waves of immigrants coming from Asia and Latin America and higher birth rates among mi- nority than majority groups, the U.S. population is becoming, and will continue to become, ethnically and culturally more diverse. Thus, how to promote positive relations across group boundaries is a question of paramount importance. Thirty or forty years ago, psychologists thought they had an answer to this question. The contact hypothesis posited that if members of dif- ferent ethnic groups interact with each other on an equal-status basis in pursuit of common goals, positive intergroup relations will result (Allport 1954). This hypothesis was so appealing that it spawned hun- dreds of studies designed to test and refine its claims. The results have been less than encouraging. Yes, equal-status contact can have positive results, but only if many conditions obtain: the contact should be mean- ingful and have the potential to extend beyond the immediate situation; the individuals should be as similar as possible on all dimensions be- sides group membership; the contact should be voluntary, extended in duration, and varied across contexts; and so on (for a more complete list, see Stephan 1985).

  • Syllabus Theories Intergroup Relations
    Theories of Intergroup Relations 1 Psychology 9234 Fall, 2015 Theories of Intergroup Relations Fatih Uenal, Room A-12 Time: Tue 16:00-18:00 Room: 271 Dragos Kampüsü Office hours: by appointment Email: [email protected] Substance: This course includes an introduction to and comparison of most extant theories of intergroup relations: those theories that explain how human groups form and relate to one another. It may be of relevance to students in psychology, sociology, political science, communications, history, anthropology, economics, or to anyone interested in group conflict, diplomacy, oppression, discrimination, society, or culture. One of the major questions we will consider is whether different kinds of theories are required to explain intergroup relations based on different kinds of group definitions, including nationality (the nation-state), gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and class. We will also consider the type of phenomena and level of analysis each theory addresses, that is, whether theories concern mainly the psychological state of an individual, the social-cultural context, the social-structural context, the economics of social arrangements, collective behavior, institutionalized patterns, and so forth. Because of the theoretical abstractness of some of the works, I have also provided a “concrete” reading dealing with each topic for each subject (e.g., works of autobiography, fiction, commentary, history, etc.). Such readings are indented on the reading list below. Original readings and important writers are emphasized in the readings selected, but research concerning elaborating on each theory will also be read. Objectives: Students will learn to recognize the level of analysis theories use, the kind of process or mechanisms they prescribe, the family of theories to which the theory belongs, as well as the basic tenets and assumptions of each theory.

  • Intergroup Dialogue in Higher Education: Definition, Origins, and Practices
    Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com) • DOI: 10.1002/aehe.3204 Intergroup Dialogue in Higher Education: Definition, Origins, and Practices NTERGROUP DIALOGUE IS AN INNOVATIVE PRACTICE IN Ihigher education that promotes student engagement across cultural and social divides, fostering learning about social diversity and inequali- ties and cultivating an ethos of social responsibility. This approach to diver- sity education on college and university campuses responds to a growing need for educational practices that prepares students to live, work, and lead in a complex, diverse, and stratified society (Banks, 2002; Chesler, Lewis, and Crowfoot, 2005; Guarasci and Cornwell, 1997; Gurin, 1999; hooks, 1994; Hurtado, Milem, Clayton-Pedersen, and Allen, 1999; Sleeter and McLaren, 1995; Stephan and Stephan, 2001; Schoem, Frankel, Zúñiga, and Lewis, 1993; Tatum, 1997). Intergroup dialogue (IGD), the focus of this monograph, is one of several dialogue and deliberation practices currently being used on college and uni- versity campuses in the United States. Many of these practices seek to foster conversation about contentious issues in collaborative ways (Schoem and others, 2001; Zúñiga and Nagda, 2001). One model, Study Circles (Flavin-McDonald and Barrett, 1999; McCoy and Sherman, 1994; McCoy and McCormick, 2001), emphasizes community building and social action. Study Circles bring community members together in small groups to build rela- tionships, deliberate about community issues, and explore actions to effect change in their communities (also see http://www.studycircles.org). Another model, Sustained Dialogue (Parker, 2006; Saunders, 1999, 2003), draws from work in international conflict resolution and peace building. In Sustained Dialogue, stu- dents of diverse backgrounds come together to build mutual respect, identify Intergroup Dialogue in Higher Education 1 issues of conflict, and generate action plans, including workable agreements to conflicts or disputes (also see http://www.sustaineddialogue.org).

Religious as well as Dutch national group identifi cation was examined among Turkish-Dutch Muslims. Identifi cation was studied in relation to general affective ratings of multiple religious groups (Muslims, Christians, Hindustanis, Jews and non-believers) and the endorsement of Islamic group rights. The results show that Muslim identifi cation was more like a nominal (high or ‘total’ identifi cation) than a continuous variable, and that many participants showed low identifi cation with the national group.

Following a general chronological order, we first revise the first individualistic approaches to the field of intergroup relations and social conflict. Afterwards, we revise the realistic group conflict theory and relative deprivation theory. Next, we discuss the social identity and the self-categorization theories and highlight some of the most studied dimensions of intergroup relations within this framework. To conclude, we present some of the most influential appraisal theories of emotions and the theory of intergroup emotions. We claim for an integration of several different approaches when studying intergroup relations and, more specifically, the role of different emotions in explaining instances of intergroup conflict.

To begin, we explore foundations of the concept of diversity, including its appearance in both applied contexts and the scholarly literature. We then review the literature on diversity, including the development of its conceptualization and operationalizations over time, in the Journal and in the field of applied psycho- logical science at large. We also examine the processes underlying the effects of diversity, and specific outcomes of diversity in organizations. To conclude, we offer a future research agenda that highlights diversity-related topics and issues important for advancing an understanding of diversity and moving the field forward, especially within the Journal. This work makes several contributions to research on diversity in organizations. First, we provide a lens for examining change in the study of diversity over time as well as a critical examination of the benefits and challenges associated with these changes. Second, we review the underlying mechanisms and key contextual influences on diversity effects in organizations. Third, our review examines the explanatory power of current diversity research and then uses this to develop a research agenda. By organizing the broad body of literature that exists on diversity, our article offers a sharp picture of what gaps in knowledge exist and where future research should focus.

We hypothesize that religious participation could in principle either reduce or promote prejudice with respect to any given target group. A religious community’s influence on intergroup attitudes will depend upon the specific beliefs, attitudes, and practices found within the community, as well as on interactions between the religious community and the larger social environment in which it is embedded. Basing our proposals on findings from the literature on prejudice formation and prejudice reduction allows us to outline useful directions for future studies of religion and prejudice.
