“…(Roter & Hall, 2004). More broadly, men, irrespective of race or ethnicity, score higher than women on social dominance orientation, a measure of the degree to which individuals desire and support group-based hierarchy and the dominance of 'superior' groups over 'inferior' groups (Pratto, Sidanius, Stallworth, & Malle, 1994;Sidanius, Pratto, & Bobo, 1994).…”

A multilevel approach that enhances the cultural competence of clinicians and healthcare systems is suggested as one solution to reducing racial/ethnic disparities in healthcare. The primary objective of this cross-sectional study was to determine if there is a relationship between the cultural competence of primary care providers and the clinics where they work. Forty-nine providers from 23 clinics in Baltimore, Maryland and Wilmington, Delaware, USA. completed an on-line survey which included items assessing provider and clinic cultural competence. Using simple linear regression, it was found that providers with attitudes reflecting greater cultural motivation to learn were more likely to work in clinics with a higher percent of nonwhite staff, and those offering cultural diversity training and culturally adapted patient education materials. More culturally appropriate provider behavior was associated with a higher percent of nonwhite staff in the clinic, and culturally adapted patient education materials. Enhancing provider and clinic cultural competence may be synergistic strategies for reducing healthcare disparities.

“…This reasoning is based on the fact that the social and economic advantages of the overall system are severely skewed towards men (e.g., see Jackman, 1994;Sidanius & Pratto, 1999), an asymmetry thought to be maintained in large part by traditional social roles, stereotypes, values, and norms of male-female dynamics (e.g., Bem & Bem, 1973;Deaux, 1985;Eagly, 1987;Glick & Fiske, 1996, 2001Jackman, 1994;Pratto & Walker, 2004;Rudman & Glick, 1999). Consistent with this account, data from several different cultures suggests that men, as compared to women, show greater overall support for traditional social structures and hierarchies, and less support for equality (Sidanius, Levin, Liu, & Pratto, 2000;Sidanius, Pratto, & Bobo, 1994). It is possible, therefore, that men may act more defensively than women when the traditional system of gender relations is challenged.…”

System justification and the defense of committed relationship ideology.

A consequential ideology in Western society is the uncontested belief that a committed relationship is the most important adult relationship and that almost all people want to marry or seriously couple (DePaulo & Morris, 2005). In the present article, we investigated the extent to which the system justification motive may contribute to the adoption of this ideology. In Studies 1 and 2, we examined whether a heightened motive to maintain the status quo would increase defense of committed relationship values. In Study 3, we examined the reverse association, that is, whether a threat to committed relationship ideology would also affect sociopolitical system endorsement. As past research has found that the justification of political systems depends upon how much these systems are perceived as controlling, in Study 4 we tested whether the defense of the system of committed relationships would also increase when framed as controlling. Results from Studies 1–4 were consistent with our hypotheses, but only for men. In Study 5, using cross-cultural data, we sought to replicate these findings correlationally and probe for a cause of the gender effect. Results from more than 33,000 respondents indicated a relationship (for men) between defense of the sociopolitical system and defense of marriage in countries where the traditional advantages of men over women were most threatened. In Studies 6 and 7, we investigated when this gender difference disappears. Results revealed that when we measured (Study 6) or manipulated (Study 7) personal relationship identity rather than relationship ideology, effects also emerge for women.

“…This bias might also be especially strong among male perceivers, as throughout our evolutionary history men have been the ones most likely to confront outgroup men (Daly & Wilson, 1988;Sidanius, Pratto, & Bobo, 1994;Wilson & Daly, 1992). Male intergroup contact, and hostility, predominate among primate species closely related to humans (Carpenter, 1974;Cheney, 1986;Goodall, 1986;Wrangham, 1987).…”

introductionWalking across a crowding shopping mall, you may see a group of people who vary in their race, gender, attractiveness, clothing style, and demeanor. A similarly complex array of social stimuli confronts us at conferences, airports, farmer's markets, and college campuses. Rarely do we attend equally to all individuals in such complex social environments or to all characteristics of any given individual. Rather, we selectively direct our attention toward a smaller subset of individuals and characteristics. This selective direction of attention often occurs automatically, without conscious intent, and can have important consequences for subsequent thoughts and actions.Who do we attend to, think about, and later remember? And how are the answers to this question linked to our goals at the moment? We recently embarked on a program of research to explore the processes that influence the selective and automatic direction of perceptual and cognitive resources. In this chapter, we present a conceptual framework that begins to articulate the role that fundamental social goals play in governing these processes. We focus, in particular, on the ways in which self-protection and mating goals selectively facilitate attention toward people who have characteristics relevant to those goals. Integrating theory and research on selective attention processes, the influence of goals on social cognition and behavior, and ecological theories of motivation and social cognition, our
