3 Main Aspects of Stereotyping

Who Am I

Guess My Stereotype

  • We distinguish some category of people

  • We assume that the individuals in this category have certain traits

  • We perceive that everyone in this category possesses these traits
  • People can evoke stereotypes with incredibly little information.

  • Stereotypes help us develop impressions of ambiguous targets.

  • Most stereotypes are inaccurate, especially when we use them to develop perceptions of specific individuals.

  • Not all stereotypes are negative

Activity 1

Stereotypes Threats

Stereotyping: Racial and Ethnic

Stereotype Definition:

  • The tendency to generalize about people in a certain social category and ignore variations among them

  • ie. Based on race, gender, age, social class, occupation, location

  • Racial and ethnic stereotypes are pervasive, persistent, frequently negative, and often contradictory.

  • Whites have been found to advance further in the hiring process than blacks.

  • Career tracking based on racial or ethnic stereotyping is common.

  • Organizations are reflections of the environments of which they are a part.

• Perception that one will be judged on a stereotype can have negative effect on one’s behavior/performance

• Performance might be lower if there are salient negative stereotype cues

• Happens when test asks for demographics before the test

• Ie. Women are poor at math

1. Obesity, Fast food, strongly opinionated

2. Beer, Redheads, Drunkards, Green

3. Cheap, Rich, Bargain-Hunters

4. Weird fetishes, Technology, honor

5. Snobby, Cuisine, Fashion

6. Call centers, Slums, Dirty

7. Famine, Isolated from world, Nuclear Weapons

Round 1

  • Students will be divided into groups
  • Each team will attempt to guess the stereotype of individuals whom they believe suits the characteristics provided on the screen
  • Write all your answers on a sheet of paper and call one of the presenters when done!
  • The two teams to guess all of the stereotypes correctly in least amount of time move onto the power round

Stereotyping: Gender

Stereotyping: Age

  • Most problematic stereotype for Organizations

  • How to reduce gender discrimination?
  • Hiring/promotions: use information based on candidate’s qualifications and performance
  • Pay for the job performed

  • Women have made most progress into senior positions in financial services industry

  • Stereotypically male: paper, forestry, steel, motor vehicles, construction

  • Older workers are seen as having less capacity for performance.

  • Less productive, creative, logical, and capable of performing under pressure, and as having less potential for development.

  • More rigid and dogmatic, and less adaptable to new corporate cultures.

  • They are perceived as more honest, dependable, and trustworthy.

  • Age seldom limits the capacity for development until post-employment years.

  • Research has found that age and job performance are unrelated

Key Takeaways

  • If many stereotypes are inaccurate, why do they persist?

  • Stereotypes help us process information about others quickly and efficiently.

  • Helps us develop impressions of ambiguous target

  • Selective perception

  • Eases the task of developing perceptions

Power Round

Card Game

Activity 2

  • For each stereotype, again three characteristics will be shown. However, the three characteristics pertaining to the stereotype will be shown individually. So for each stereotype, the first team to raise their hand and answer correctly will receive a point
  • To answer, the team must raise their hand without shouting!
  • Again the team with most points wins

  • Winners receive a prize!!!

Conclusion

Who am i?

Power Round

  • There are 3 categories of people: 1, 2 and 3
  • Each student will be given a card with one of the three numbers printed on it, however, the card will be stuck on the student's forehead to avoid peaking!!!

All Students must follow these rules:

  • If a 1 tries to high five you, you must high five them back
  • If a 2 tries to high five you, you can ignore them OR decide to accept their high five
  • If a 3 tries to high five you, you MUST ignore them

  • At the end of the game, you must attempt to guess the number you think you are and direct yourself to the corner of the class assigned to that group number

Negative implications on OB:

  • Fail to recognize & appreciate differences between individuals
  • Managers ignore the benefits of diverse workforce & miss opportunities
  • Employees are discouraged to perform well -> wasted potential
  • Remember:
  • We are all different
  • Appreciate people for who they are and not which social group they belong to
