“…Individuation was measured through the following items: “How much do you view the immigrants described above as …” (1 = group members, 7 = individuals); “To what extent do you think the immigrants described above are typical immigrants” (1 = not at all, 7 = very much); “How similar are the immigrants described above to other members of the same group?” (1 = not at all similar, 7 = very similar; Hutter et al, ). Items 2 and 3 were reversed‐coded, such that higher scores on each item represented greater individuation.…”

“…For instance, Hutter and Crisp () showed that, after thinking about stereotype‐inconsistent versus stereotype‐consistent category combinations (a female vs. male mechanic ; an Oxford‐educated bricklayer vs. art critic ), participants used fewer stereotypic and more novel attributes to describe the targets. This generative outcome is due to a shift from a heuristic, categorical mode of impression formation to a more individuated one (Hutter & Crisp, ; Hutter, Crisp, Humphreys, Waters, & Moffitt, ; Hutter, Wood, & Turner, ).…”

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.

“…exposure to well-liked or positive atypical exemplars from the media can lead to greater acknowledgement of discrimination in society against other members of the group (Bodenhausen, Schwartz, Bless, & Wanke, 1995) and reduced endorsement of stereotypes (Ramasubramanian, 2011). In addition, when forming impressions of individuals in counterstereotypic occupations, people rely less on stereotypes and instead engage in individuation (Hutter & Crisp, 2005;Hutter, Wood, & Turner, 2013).…”

This research aimed to ascertain the contents (Study 1) and valence (Study 2) of the stereotype associated with Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) in university students. Study 1 used a free-response methodology where participants listed the characteristics that they thought society associates with individuals with ASC. This study revealed that the stereotypic traits most frequently reported by students without personal experience of ASC were poor social skills, being introverted and withdrawn, poor communication and difficult personality or behaviour. Study 2 had participants rate the valence of the 10 most frequently mentioned stereotypic traits identified in Study 1, along with additional traits frequently used to describe disabled and non-disabled people. This study found that eight of the ten most frequently listed stereotypic traits from Study 1 were seen as negative, and were rated significantly more negatively than traits used to describe non-disabled people. The knowledge of the contents and valence of the stereotype of ASC gained from this research can be used to tackle negative aspects of this stereotype.

The present research addressed for the first time conditions under which linguistic out-group derogation can be hindered by increasing the qualitative and quantitative complexity of out-group members categorization. An analysis was made of the spontaneous language used to describe counterstereotypic versus stereotypic portrayals of Romanians (Study 1) and multiple versus single categorizations of immigrants (Study 2). Results showed that counterstereotypic and multiple categorization of highly discriminated targets decreased the level of abstraction of negative terms used, thus reducing out-group linguistic derogation. Furthermore, multiple versus single categorization effect on linguistic derogation toward immigrants was mediated by individuation of immigrants and moderated by intergroup contact. The implications of the sociocognitive interventions used and intergroup contact in hindering linguistic out-group derogation are discussed.
