本研究考察了性别、社会阶层和种族刻板印象在人的感知中的准确性和力量。参与者包括49至56名教师和近2,000名七年级公立学校数学班的学生。结果表明,教师对女孩和男孩,低年级和高年级学生,非洲裔美国人和白色学生之间的成就和动机差异的看法大多是准确的。结果还表明,虽然教师一般依赖学生的个人特征,以形成他们的看法,他们偶尔依赖于刻板印象。我们讨论了这些结果的经典观点,刻板印象是不准确的,僵化的,夸张的,并施加强大的影响的人的感知。
This research examined the accuracy and power of sex, social class, and ethnic stereotypes in person perception. Participants included 49 to 56 teachers and nearly 2,000 students in seventh-grade public school math classes. Results indicated that teacher perceptions regarding achievement and motivation differences between girls and boys, lower- and upper-class students, and African American and White students were mostly accurate. Results also showed that although teachers generally relied an students' personal characteristics to form their perceptions, they occasionally relied on stereotypes. We discuss these results in terms of the classic view that stereotypes are inaccurate, rigid, exaggerated, and exert powerful effects on person perception.
