“…One way to reduce provider resistance to learning about implicit bias is by instructing them in strategies for controlling their automatic responses to stigmatized patients, such as affirming egalitarian goals, seeking common-group identities, perspective-taking, and individuation via counterstereotyping (Blair et al, 2011; Burgess et al, 2007; Stone & Moskowitz, 2011). A recent study by Lai et al (2014) comparing these and other strategies suggests that seeking counterstereotypic and common-identity information (e.g., shifting group affiliations or boundaries) may be especially effective for reducing implicit bias among a non-health-care sample (also see Prati, Crisp, Pratto, & Rubini, 2016, for an example of cross-categorization as a tool to garner majority support for immigrant access to health services). The authors also concluded that the success of any approach requires active involvement or engagement when using the strategy.…”

Recent evidence suggests that one possible cause of disparities in health outcomes for stigmatized groups is the implicit biases held by health care providers. In response, several health care organizations have called for, and developed, new training in implicit bias for their providers. This review examines current evidence on the role that provider implicit bias may play in health disparities, and whether training in implicit bias can effectively reduce the biases that providers exhibit. Directions for future research on the presence and consequences of provider implicit bias, and best practices for training to reduce such bias, will be discussed.

“…Study 2 tested whether the effect of multiple categorization on prejudice reduction towards immigrants is moderated by the perceiver's political orientation. Previous research has shown that it is increasing the number of categories simultaneously attributed to an outgroup target (independently of whether these categories are shared or unshared between the perceivers and the target) that is responsible for reducing prejudice toward the outgroup target (Crisp et al, ; Prati, Crisp, Meleady, et al, ; Prati, Crisp, Pratto, & Rubini, ; Prati, Crisp, et al, ). We expected left‐wing and moderate individuals to reduce their prejudice towards immigrants when considering multiple rather than simple categorization of immigrants.…”

Multiple and counterstereotypic categorization of outgroup members reduces prejudice towards them. The present research addresses, for the first time, the role of political orientation in moderating the impact of these strategies on prejudice reduction. Given that right-wingers have very likely a higher need for cognitive closure compared to left-wingers and thus may be less tolerant to social diversity, for them, increasing the complexity of outgroup members through counterstereotypic versus stereotypic or multiple versus simple categorizations should be a less effective strategy of prejudice reduction than it is for left-wingers and moderate individuals. Results using Romanians and immigrants as outgroup targets for Italian participants supported our prediction. Further, we found that the effect of prejudice reduction was explained by the sequential mediation of increased individuation of immigrants and reduced sense of threat from them. Implications of the interplay between multiple categorization and political orientation are discussed.

“…Social integration and openness to change are predicted by the perception of the complexity of the self in terms of rrelationships among his or her multiple group identities (Roccas & Brewer, 2002). Similarly, increasing complexity of others through multiple and counter-stereotypical categorization can reduce dehumanization of them (Albarello & Rubini, 2012;Prati, Crisp, Meleady & Rubini, 2016) and enhance positive behavioral intentions (Prati, Crisp, Pratto & Rubini, 2016;Prati, Menegatti & Rubini, 2015).…”

Perceiving mixed valence emotions reduces intergroup dehumanisation

To deny others' humanity is one of the most heinous forms of intergroup prejudice. Given evidence that perceiving various forms of complexity in outgroup members reduces intergroup prejudice, we investigated across three experiments whether the novel dimension of emotional complexity, or outgroup members' joint experience of mixed-valence emotions, would also reduce their dehumanisation. Experiment 1 found that perceiving fictitious aliens' experience of the same primary emotions (e.g. sadness) presented in mixed vs. non-mixed valence pairs led to reduced prejudice via attenuated dehumanisation, i.e. attribution of uniquely human emotions. Experiment 2 confirmed these results, using an unfamiliar real-world group as an outgroup target. Experiment 3 used a familiar outgroup and found generally similar effects, reducing social distance through reduced dehumanisation. These processes suggest that an alternate route to reduced dehumanising of outgroups might involve presenting mixed valence emotions.
