The Effects of Social Categorization Models on Stereotyping
Year: 2024
Type: preprint
Abstract: A range of social categorization models, encompassing categorization, de-categorization, re-categorization, and individuation, have been formulated and thoroughly examined to identify the optimal strategy for reducing bias and enhancing intergroup relations among diverse populations. This research endeavors to investigate the influence of these categorization models on stereotyping. To examine the effects of various social categorization models on stereotyping, we utilize a percent estimate task, similar to the method employed by Wolsko and colleagues (2000). Alongside our own prompts tailored to each categorization model, we include two original prompts—colorblindness and multiculturalism—previously used in research.
