“…Information related to group membership frequently is readily available in social interactions, at least as far as visible identities are concerned. It has also been shown to render a setting more or less prototypical of discrimination (Inman et al, 1998;Inman & Baron, 1996;Rodin et al, 1990). Thus, we predicted that if targets were forewarned about the evaluators' relevant group membership, they would consequently indifferently understand later information about the certainty-or mere plausibility-of prejudice as a confirmation of prejudice's role in the evaluation process.…”

“…men) and to be directed toward specific targets (e.g. women) (Baron, Burgess, & Kao, 1991;Inman & Baron, 1996;Inman, Huerta, & Oh, 1998;Rodin, Price, Bryson, & Sanchez, 1990). Chronic targets also have developed such prototypes about what is discrimination against their group: They know that certain outgroups typically are prejudiced against their own, as well as the contexts and circumstances in which this is likely to occur.…”

In previous research, targets' sensitivity to prejudice cues has been assessed on the basis of two types of information. Prototypical information renders the situation representative of discrimination encountered by the ingroup. Diagnostic information is a direct indication that prejudice possibly is operating in a given situation. We hypothesize that, when available and processed at the onset of an evaluation situation, prototypical information shapes targets' understanding of subsequent diagnostic information. In three experiments, participants were informed that they were to be evaluated by relevant outgroup members either before or after having performed a task. Diagnostic information was always provided at the same moment, i.e. after the task was completed, and was either uncertain (prejudice may bias the evaluation) or certain (prejudice certainly biases the evaluation). In the before condition, attributions to prejudice were as elevated whatever participants were told that prejudice might, or certainly did, bias the evaluation. Furthermore, in the case of uncertain diagnostic information, those who were readily informed of the evaluator(s)' identity attributed their failure to prejudice to a greater extent than those who received this information later.

“…This idea is often based on so-called prototypes: People have expectations of what kind of event reflects prototypical discrimination, and the closer an event resembles this idea the more likely it is for that behaviour to be interpreted as discrimination (Baron et al 1991;Rodin et al 1990). This prototype is fed by several characteristics of the event and of the individuals involved (Major and Sawyer 2009).…”

This study investigates the relation between age stereotypes and perceived age discrimination. Existing evidence for such a relation is notoriously ambiguous with regard to its direction-age stereotypes can predict (perceived) discrimination, but experiencing discrimination may also change views on ageing-which is why we used a dataset with two waves to disentangle the direction of the associations. Considering research on the multi-dimensionality of views on ageing and perceived age discrimination, we addressed this question from a domain-and age group-specific perspective. Drawing on data from two measurement points of the German Ageing Survey (DEAS; t 1 : 2008, t 2 : 2011; age range at t 1 : 40-93 years, n = 6092 participants at t 1 ), we examined reciprocal relations between views on ageing and perceived age discrimination. Cross-lagged models revealed that domain-specific views on ageing predict subsequent changes in perceived discrimination in corresponding domains: Negative views on ageing regarding personal competence, physical decline, and social interactions were associated with increases in perceived discrimination in the domains of work, medical care, and social life, respectively. However, we did not find evidence for a reciprocal effect of perceived age discrimination on views on ageing. In sum, results indicate that negative views on ageing act as self-fulfilling prophecies by predisposing people to categorize other people's behaviour as age discrimination or to act themselves in a way that might elicit ageist behaviour in others.

This study examined 104 undergraduate college students (mean age = 19) from the Western United States regarding gender differences in their experiences of gender prejudice. Women (N=81) and men (N=22) responded to an online diary for 14 days, resulting in 1008 descriptions of events. Women reported significantly higher levels of negative affect than men during the experiences. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyze event descriptions and three main themes emerged including target of the event, perpetrator and setting. Significant differences were found for target and perpetrator based upon the gender of the participant. There were also significant differences in the distribution of the type of event (gender role stereotypes, sexual objectification or demeaning events) based on the setting and target.
