“…Positive stereotypes can interfere with the cognitive performance of target group members by placing undue pressures on them or by interfering with necessary cognitive resources. In a daily diary study of Asian American students, those who expressed greater concern with appearing smart to their roommate reported greater anxiety, but only when their roommate was White (Son & Shelton, 2011). When a group is positively stereotyped as good at a domain, a blatant reminder of that stereotype can result in “choking under pressure” (Cheryan & Bodenhausen, 2000; Shih et al, 2002).…”

“…The second factor to consider is who is stating the positive stereotype. Positive stereotypes stated by an outgroup member (e.g., Czopp, 2008b; Siy & Cheryan, 2013; Son & Shelton, 2011) may be more problematic than those stated by an ingroup member or stated without a source (Kilianski & Rudman, 1998). When stated by an outgroup member, positive stereotypes may feel more like prejudice than when the same statement comes from someone within the group.…”

Stereotypes and their associated category-based processes have traditionally been considered largely within the context of the negativity of their content and consequences, both among the general public and the scientific community. This review summarizes and integrates extant research on positive stereotypes, which are subjectively favorable beliefs about social groups, and examines their implications for individuals and groups directly targeted by such stereotypes. Furthermore, we examine the beneficial and adverse implications of positive stereotypes for interpersonal and intergroup relations, as well as the ways in which positive stereotypes, more so than negative stereotypes, may contribute to and perpetuate systemic differences in power and privilege.

“…Finally, positive stereotypes make people of color feel pressured to live up to the expectations of their group (Cheryan & Bodenhausen, 2000;Son & Shelton, 2011). Asian American college freshmen with other-race roommates participated in a daily diary study for three weeks (Son & Shelton, 2011). For Asian Americans who had White roommates, higher stigma consciousness (e.g.…”

When Whites' Attempts to Be Multicultural Backfire in Intergroup Interactions

Whites' attempts to enact multicultural ideals in intergroup interactions can sometimes have negative interpersonal consequences. This paper reviews the instances when Whites' efforts to acknowledge, appreciate, and learn about racial and ethnic differences can make people of color's group identity uncomfortably salient (minority spotlight effect), make people of color feel that certain attributes are being imposed onto their group identity (positive stereotyping), or make people of color feel precluded from another group identity (identity denial). Each of these situations introduces a hurtful discrepancy between how people of color are seen by others and how they wish to be seen. Suggestions for how to "do" multiculturalism in ways that avoid creating this discrepancy are discussed.

“…Second, stigma consciousness research shows that people who are self-conscious about being judged stereotypically experience negative affect, regardless of whether the content of the stereotype is positive or negative (Son and Shelton, 2011). In fact, anxiety induced by self-consciousness over being stereotyped has been shown to be significant enough to have spillover effects in a diverse array of non-stereotyped domains (Inzlicht and Kang, 2010).…”

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of age-related stereotyping processes on younger workers' mood, attitudes, and impression management behaviors at work. Design/methodology/approach -Using survey data from 281 younger workers, the hypothesized model was tested using structural equation modeling. Findings -As younger workers are more self-conscious about being age stereotyped, they are less likely to be satisfied with older co-workers, which is partly explained by negative mood associated with that metastereotype consciousness. Also, chronological age, age-group identification, and age prejudice, were critical influences on the emergence of metastereotype consciousness. Research limitations/implications -Unexpected findings point to: experiences of younger workers which may not follow the same patterns found with older groups and unique operation of age as a dynamic social category that may not parallel findings regarding other social categories. Practical implications -There is clearly potential for younger workers to be concerned they are viewed "stereotypically" and this metastereotype consciousness influences how they feel, think, and behave at work. Organizations should be aware of the potential antecedents and consequences, as well as the nature of metastereotypic perceptions, to better facilitate positive and productive interactions across age groups at work. Originality/value -This research contributes to an understanding of younger workers' experiences at work, highlights the role of mood in the operation of metastereotypes on attitudes and behaviors in age-diverse contexts, and improves our understanding of social biases and inequality associated with age-based groups.
