“…Do people hold a stereotype that Mexican Americans, or other Americans of Hispanic decent, lack intelligence? Some research suggests that people may hold such a stereotype (Fairchild & Cozens, 1981;Guichard & Connolly, 1977); however, these studies revealed weak tendencies with measures that did not focus purely on intellectual ability. In addition, Guichard and Connolly (1977) suggested that belief in stereotypes of this nature might be fading.…”

Implicit Stereotyping of Hispanics: Development and Validity of a Hispanic Version of the Implicit Association Test

The Implicit Association Test was adapted to assess the degree to which people hold, at least at an implicit level, a stereotype that Hispanics are less intelligent than Whites. On the test, a sample of 41 college students at a university in the United States showed significantly faster reaction times when faced with associations consistent with the stereotype than when faced with associations inconsistent with the stereotype. In addition, scores on the Implicit Association Test were positively correlated with scores on a modified Social Distance Scale. Thus, it was concluded that the adaptation of the Implicit Association Test is both sensitive enough to detect the hypothesized stereotypic belief and a valid test.

“…News articles in the mainstream media (e.g., Peterson, 1966aPeterson, , 1966b started focal discussions about the success of the Chinese and the Japanese (Hurh & Kim, 1989;McGowan & Lindgren, 2006;Osajima, 1988) and ultimately portrayed Asian immigrants as the model minority (e.g., Kasindorf, & Chin, 1982). Asians have been perceived as quiet, industrious, intelligent, artistic, scientific, educated, hardworking, law abiding, and successful (Guichard & Connolly, 1977;Hurh & Kim, 1989). According to the model minority thesis, Asian Americans or immigrants have been economically successful and socially assimilated into American society through their self-discipline, hard work, education, dedication, and perseverance (Chew, 1994;Lee, 1999;McGowan & Lindgren, 2006;Paek & Shah, 2003).…”

The Model Minority Myth for Noncitizen Immigration Offenses and Sentencing Outcomes

Labeled the model minority, Asian Americans have been seen as less discriminated against than other racial/ethnic minorities in the different aspects of American society. Sentencing scholarship also revealed robust evidence that Asian offenders were not treated differently from White offenders in judicial decision making. Some research even found the most favorable sentencing outcomes for Asian offenders. However, it is unclear whether the model minority hypothesis is validated when only the criminal sentencing of noncitizen offenders is at issue. Using the U.S. Sentencing Commission's sentencing data for fiscal years 2006-2007, the present study, with a focus specifically on immigration offenses, seeks to challenge this hypothesis by examining the extent to which an offender's national origin and race/ethnicity affect sentencing outcomes. Findings reveal strong support for our argument that the model minority advantage is offense-specific and that it is not applicable to all types of offenses. Specifically, there is no model minority advantage for non-U.S. citizens' immigration offenses.

“…A potential reason for this finding is that, as members of a disadvantaged minority themselves, African-Americans may sympathize or empathize with other disadvantaged minorities such as Hispanics. Guichard and Connolly (1977) used a cohort of African-American and White supervisors and found, for African-American supervisors, the most frequent terms used to describe Chicanos were cruel, artistic, lazy, and superstitious. For White supervisors, the terms used most often were industrious, intelligent, lazy, artistic, and cruel.…”

“…. Examples of negative traits include being lazy, cruel, superstitious (Guichard & Connolly, 1977), and uneducated (Niemann, Jennings, Rozelle, Baxter and Sullivan, 2001). It should be pointed out that in many of the negative stereotype studies, positive or neutral traits are also mentioned, as we will see in the section on "Labels."…”

Effects of social comparison on stereotyping

Taniguchi

This thesis examines the effects of a social comparison process on stereotyping Hispanics. Using a reading of an Asian-American success essay, the estimation of perceived opportunity for success in American society was studied. Similarly, the degree of stereotyping was examined. Finally, the estimation of perceived discrimination against Hispanics was looked at. Research shows that estimates of opportunity were not changed by reading the Asian success essay. For stereotyping of Hispanics, Caucasians and Asians showed more negative stereotypes after reading the success essay. For perceived discrimination, Caucasians paradoxically had higher perceptions of discrimination after reading the success essay. There was no difference in perceptions of discrimination for Asians after reading the success essay. Again unexpectedly, Hispanics showed lower perceptions of discrimination after reading the Asian success essay. I would also like to thank my brother Ronald for his support, and Ms. Deborah Ann Hennessee for her patient tutelage. v
