Intergroup Bias and Dual Processing
Research on stereotypes is relatively new; however, it constitutes a sizable body of research with emphasis on stereotype formation, accuracy, measurement, and implications.
Stereotypes
can be defined as expected traits within a group of people based on some prior knowledge of, or assumptions about, groups of people.
Intergroup bias
occurs when people categorize traits or people into certain groups, favor groups that are similar to them, and rationalize group traits. While the bias might be outside of one’s cognitive awareness it can nonetheless distort judgment. Consistent with the dual process model discussed early in this course, intergroup bias is the product of both automatic and controlled social cognitive processing and stereotypes can range from subtle to blatant in form (Aronson & McGlone, 2009, p. 154).
For this Discussion, review the media
Stereotyping
and consider the behavior of the individuals in the scenario. Pay particular attention to how automatic processing and systematic processing might have impacted the stereotype formation presented.

1. Intergroup Bias and Dual Processing
Research on stereotypes is relatively new; however, it
constitutes a sizable body of research with emphasis on
stereotype formation, accuracy, measurement, and implications.
Stereotypes
can be defined as expected traits within a group of people
based on some prior knowledge of, or assumptions about,
groups of people.
Intergroup bias
occurs when people categorize traits or people into certain
groups, favor groups that are similar to them, and rationalize
group traits. While the bias might be outside of one’s cognitive
awareness it can nonetheless distort judgment. Consistent with
the dual process model discussed early in this course,
intergroup bias is the product of both automatic and controlled
social cognitive processing and stereotypes can range from
subtle to blatant in form (Aronson & McGlone, 2009, p. 154).
For this Discussion, review the media
Stereotyping
and consider the behavior of the individuals in the scenario.
Pay particular attention to how automatic processing and
systematic processing might have impacted the stereotype
formation presented.
