Social Psychology prejudice ingroup outgroup social dynamics group conflict terrorism The current research explores the possibility that perceiving one's ingroup as highly tolerant can, for some individuals, lead to increases in expressions of personal prejudice. Prejudiced stereotypes and tolerant values are simultaneously communicated through the same social networks (Devine and Elliot, 1997; Katz and Hass, 1988; Katz, Wackenhut, and Hass, 1986). The result of exposure to these incompatible influences is that many individuals experience prejudiced reactions that they are uncomfortable expressing (Devine, 1989; Gilbert and Hixon, 1991; Gaertner and Dovidio, 1986). As a means of controlling for unwanted bias in evaluations of members of minority groups, many people develop a motivation to avoid prejudiced responses (Fazio and Dunton, 1997; Plant and Devine, 1998). However, efforts to correct for personal prejudice can only be successfully applied when the influence of personal prejudice is apparent to the perceiver, and information regarding the environment, target, or self can often obscure the effects of prejudice on judgments. It is hypothesized that when a group provides its members with a collective sense of tolerance, individual members perceive a lowered risk of prejudice influencing their judgments and reduce efforts to control for personal bias. This research explores situations in which a collective sense of tolerance can limit efforts to control for prejudice, thereby increasing the influence of personal prejudice in judgments. 2008-07-23 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1210094084 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1210094084 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
