“…This demonstrates that synchronous variations in both age and gender subcategories can weaken the level of automatic processing of each subcategory. To some extent, these results are consistent with the findings of Vescio, Judd, and Kwan (2004), who used the 'Who Said What Paradigm' and found that the processing of categorization was weaker in the orthogonal condition (Asian female/Asian male/White female/White male) than in the simple conditions (Asian/White or Female/Male). In the baseline condition, the capacity for unconscious attention could, perhaps, accommodate the variations.…”

Using Garner's selective attention paradigm, we investigated the characteristics of multiple social categorization based on variations in gender and age. The stimuli were presented in the following 3 conditions: In the gender-clue varying situation, gender categorization was elicited; in the age-clue varying situation, age categorization was elicited; and in the orthogonal condition, simultaneous variations in age and gender interfered with the irrelative task. The results showed that simultaneous processing weakened variations in the age and gender subcategories. The processing speed of older persons, which requires more cognitive resources, was slower than that of younger individuals. Additionally, perceivers paid more attention to the age clue of female faces than that of male faces.

Consistently, individuals who internalize social diversity, viewing their own identity as a complex mix of partially overlapping social identities, also tend to express more tolerant views (Roccas & Brewer, 2002;Brewer & Pierce, 2005;Miller, Brewer, & Arbuckle, 2009;Schmid, Hewstone, Tausch, Cairns, & Hughes, 2009).…”

“…Contrary to this experiment Vanbeseleare (1987) reduced intergroup discrimination in crossed categorization conditions not only for evaluating the experimental situation but also for the more general evaluative question. The Vescio and Judd (2004) study shows that intervention based on crossed categorization can change the perception of group boundaries but does not necessarily reduce out-group bias. More promising results were presented by Mullen et al (2001), namely that crossed categorization hostility-reduction intervention may reduce or redirect, but not eliminate, the bias .…”

Abstract:Our paper reviews research studies that have investigated interventions aimed at prejudice reduction. The theories and research results are summarized in the following categories: intergroup contact, social identity, and categorization. The intergroup contact approach inspired such techniques as contact hypothesis, jigsaw classroom, Pettigrew's model, contact with transgression, and imagined intergroup contact hypothesis; while social identity gave the ground for common ingroup identity and crossed categorization theories. We place special emphasis on methods applicable for a school setting, and try to answer the questions: when, why and under which condition will a given method work. Keywords:intervention, prejudice reduction, decategorization, recategorization, intergroup contact Streszczenie:Artykuł jest próbą przeglądu teorii oraz badań dotyczących skuteczności interwencji zmniejszających uprzedzenia wobec członków stereotypizowanych grup. Przedstawione metody i techniki oddziały-wania wywodzą się z teorii kontaktu międzygrupowego oraz teorii tożsamości społecznej i kategoryzacji. W artykule opisane są następujące techniki zmiany uprzedzeń: hipoteza kontaktu, klasa mieszana, model Pettigrew, kontakt z transgresją oraz hipoteza wyobrażonego kontaktu wywodzące się z teorii kontaktu międzygrupowego, a także teoria wspólnej tożsamości grupowej i skrzyżowanych kategoryzacji społecznych, które mają swoje korzenie w teorii tożsamości społecznej i kategoryzacji. Szczególny nacisk położony jest na te metody, które można zastosować podczas zajęć szkolnych. Artykuł jest także próbą odpowiedzi na pytania które techniki, w jakich warunkach i kontekstach edukacyjno-społecznych przynoszą najlepsze efekty.
