Ordinarily I would not be enthusiastic to read an excerpt like Whistling Vivaldi and Other Clues to How Stereotypes Affect Us by Claude M. Steele, but on the contrary, I found that I was extremely impacted, this reading opened my eyes to an infinite amount of possibilities that I had not been worried about before. There were multiple sections of this reading that was baffling, I choose to write about a passage that dumbfounded me completely, I found this on page four of the excerpt under chapter 2 about 7 paragraphs in and it states “I became an expert in the language of fear. Couples locked arms or reached for each other’s hand when they saw me. Some crossed to the other side of the street. People who were carrying on conversations went mute…

Somatotyping is “a constitutional, or physiological, orientation that found its way into the criminological mainstream during the early and mid-twentieth century,” and is defined as: “classifying according to body types” (Schmalleger). Somatotyping is characteristic of constitutional theories, or theories that believe that criminality can be explained by an individual’s physical traits, genetics, and other observable and measurable physical characteristics. Somatotyping is closely associated with the work of Ernst Kretschmer and William H. Sheldon. The three categories that Kretschmer described are: pyknic (short and fat), asthenic (thin and small), and athletic (muscular and large-boned).…

This study gives us some evidence that not always stereotypes affect people negatively. In study 1, to support their theory researchers predicted that the females’ performance would decrease when their gender was made more noticeable and improve relatively when their Asian identity was made salient compared to a control group where none of Asian-American women’s identity was made noticeable. Participants were randomly assigned to three different groups (female-identity-salient, Asian-identity-salient and no-identity-salient). They completed different questionnaires without direct questions to make salient the identity of gender or ethnic, afterwards they completed a quantitative test and final questionnaire about their experience in this research.…
There is nothing more effective than knowing the other to break labels. If we foster cooperation between human groups and strengthen interdependence that establishes ties that reveal the true identity of people, beyond comfortable generalizations, but not before fulfilling two conditions for a positive change in intergroup relationships that are: a ) That the participants have a similar status and, b) cooperation between the members of the two groups, since the absence of these groups will not reduce or even exacerbate prejudice. Since the stereotype and the prejudice are based on a real ignorance of the other, the hypothesis of the contact seeks to alleviate this…
The theory of deindividuation is complicated, and different researchers in the field have very diverse definitions of deindividuation. A few believed the deindividuated state is achieved when a person becomes anonymous and realises that he or she will not suffer the consequences of his or her anti-social behaviour. However, Diener and others believed that deindividuation is caused by the loss of self-awareness and self-regulation in a person. Gustave Le Bon (1960) created the theory of how a collective mind can take possession of the person. He observed how a person in a crowd could lose self-control and become a mindless puppet.…

Being unique is something important but also fitting into a group may help a lot with many things. For example, creating a business by your own could be perfect, but by fitting into a group and helping each other with different kind of thoughts and ideas will get your business more than great with a lot of different ideas that will help the business. A lot of people think being unique is more important than fitting into a group. Therefore, in my opinion I see that fitting into a group will give you more ideas and help you work fast and let you communicate with people more, that’s why it is more important. One main reason for this argument is that fitting into a group will give you more ideas.…
