“…According to SJT, the system of justifying beliefs among the members of disadvantageous groups may not be reflected in explicit measures. Members of inferior groups would be more likely to exhibit out-group favoritism in implicit and non-conscious cognitive, affective and behavioral measures (Correll et al 2002). Future research might test directly the implicit system justifying beliefs of the poor with an appropriate research design.…”

How the Poor Deal with Their Own Poverty: A Social Psychological Analysis from the Social Identity Perspective

2015

The focus of psychological studies of poverty is usually on the psychological outcomes, causal attributions and the personality characteristics of the poor. Different from previous psychological accounts, the present study considered poverty as a group level phenomenon in the frame of Social Identity Theory, addressing the question of how poor people deal with the negative poor identity. In order to explore which of the three identity management strategies suggested by SIT (so-called individual mobility, social creativity and collective effort) would most likely be adopted by the poor to deal with the negative poor identity, a semi-structured interview study (N = 50) and a survey study (N = 170) were conducted of a sample of Turkish adults living below the poverty line, based on data from a 2011 Report of Confederation of Turkish Trade Unions (TURK-IS, 2011). The analysis of the interviews showed that when people see group boundaries as permeable and the social structure as unstable, they tend to move into higher status groups, even if they perceive the unequal social structure to be illegitimate. On the other hand, when the social structure is perceived as stable, they tend to use creative strategies. The analysis of the survey data mostly confirmed the proposed model, which suggests that a poor identity leads poor people to endorse one of the three identity management strategies through the perceptions of permeability between the poor and the wealthy, and through the perceptions of stability and illegitimacy of the status relations between the poor and the wealthy group.

Likewise, participants playing a video game are quicker at deciding to shoot an unarmed black target than an unarmed black target, even when both targets are armed at equal rates in the context of the game (Correll et al 2002).

“…The presumption evidenced in this statement is that, absent a deliberate, coordinated attempt to discriminate, discrimination does not happen. Psychological research on subtle and implicit forms of bias strongly indicate otherwise (e.g., Correll et al, 2002), as does experimental research directly testing the effect of race on judgments of guilt and sentencing (e.g., Sommers and Ellsworth, 2001).…”

“…Extensive studies (e.g., Council of Economic Advisors, 1999;Zweigenhaft and Domhoff, 1998) have documented pervasive disparities that cannot be accounted for without making reference to discrimination, across numerous domains of life. Innovative techniques for unveiling biased attitudes (e.g., Crosby et al, 1980;Greenwald and Banaji, 1995) and behavior (e.g., Ayres, 2001;Bertrand and Mullainathan, 2003;Correll et al, 2002) reveal that group-based inequities are at least in part due to continuing prejudice and discrimination. Even survey research that indicates generally improving explicit attitudes toward minorities also shows that a substantial proportion of the American population approves of racial segregation, with approximately 40% disapproving of interracial marriage (e.g., Schuman et al, 1997).…”

Intergroup Bias and Inequity: Legitimizing Beliefs and Policy Attitudes

Policy attitudes relating to group-based inequities are in many cases founded on tenuous legitimizing beliefs which are contradicted by empirical evidence. Policy issues, and their attendant legitimizing beliefs, are considered, including affirmative action, colorblindness/"racial privacy," hate crime legislation, samesex marriage, and, in greater depth, capital punishment and racial profiling. Primary themes underlying the legitimizing beliefs include denials that groupbased biases and inequities exist, overestimations of the societal costs of inequityreducing policies, valuing public safety above civil liberties, and discounting the adverse effects of inequity-reducing policies.
