For this paper, I am being asked to evaluate, discuss, and compare information about how psychologists view diversity and the cognitive processes that shape perceptions of diversity

January 20, 2024January 20, 2024 Discipline: Psychology
  1. Defining Diversity (Criterion#1): (this criterion should take approximately 1-2 paragraphs to address)
    1. Begin your response by defining diversity. You must provide both your personal definition of diversity and the textbook definition.
    2. You must make sure to compare and/or contrast this personal definition to that provided by the text.
    3. Diversity can be valued, and diversity policies pursued, on ideological grounds. Compare and contrast the 3 conceptual perspectives or “concerns” on diversity 
    4. Clearly explain and support your response, including definitions of terms, with examples, information, and evidence provided in Chapters 1 and 2 of Blaine and McClure Brenchley (2020).
    5. PAY ATTENTION: Do not just copy word-for-word information from the text. You are being asked to analyze and synthesize the information to support your reasoning. Critical thinking involves the ability to use information presented to provide logical and reasoned positions when writing.
  2. Categorization (Criterion#2): (this criterion should take approximately 1-2 paragraphs to address)
    1. Define and explain “social categorization.”
    2. Using one of the factors that guides social categorization (perceptual similarity, accessibility, or perceived threat), explain how you would categorize a person who walks with a cane or walker.
    3. Clearly explain and support your response, including definitions of terms with examples, information, and evidence provided in Chapters 1 and 2 of Blaine and McClure Brenchley (2020).
    4. PAY ATTENTION: Do not just copy word-for-word information from the text. You are being asked to analyze and synthesize the information to support your reasoning. Critical thinking involves the ability to use information presented to provide logical and reasoned positions when writing.
  3. Stereotyping (Criterion#3): (this criterion should take approximately 2 to 4 paragraphs to address)
    1. Define and explain stereotyping. Discuss how a stereotype is both a useful cognitive tool and a source of prejudice.
    2. As part of your discussion of stereotyping, explain how subtyping works and why it enables stereotypes to persist.
    3. Discuss and explain the term “model minority”. Describe the source of that label. 
    4. Why might being positively stereotyped be as limiting as being negatively stereotyped? Support your response.
    5. Clearly explain and support your response, including definitions of terms with examples, information, and evidence provided in Chapters 1 and 2 of Blaine and McClure Brenchley (2020).
