Introduction
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 13
A notion that seems to figure prominently in most explanations of racism is the notion of stereotyping. It certainly seems to occur in almost all elementary psychology and social psychology textbook accounts of racism. It will be submitted here, however, that even a desultory reading of the social cognition literature pushes us towards the view that stereotyping neither causes racism nor has any useful role in its explanation.

There is, furthermore, a substantial body of thought which sees pro-ingroup sentiment as something like self-esteem --i.e. a positive influence and a basis for a healthy, adaptive and positive view of the world. It is hard to think well of outgroups if you do not think well of your own group.

Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 50
Stereotyping studies in fact almost invariably find that responses to different ethnic groups are highly differentiated (e.g. Kippax & Brigden, 1967; Gallois, Callan & Parslow, 1982; Callan & Gallois, 1983; Houser, 1979).

There also seems to be a not inconsiderable tendency for agreement between the in- and the out-group concerning the characteristics of the in-group.

For instance, Callan & Gallois (1983) found that Anglo-Australians, Greek-Australians and Italian-Australians all showed a high level of agreement that Anglo-Australians were "sportsmanlike", "happy-go-lucky" and "pleasure-loving".

Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 66
On matters of interest to him (i.e. racial and ethnic matters) the racially discriminatory person is cognitively complex rather than cognitively simple (See also Ray, 1972a).

Viljoen (1974) found that South African Blacks thought higher of English-speaking whites than they did of themselves yet those same blacks still liked their own group best in other ways. In particular, blacks preferred more social distance from the English-speaking whites than from other blacks. To put it plainly, the blacks thought that the English- speakers were admirable but still did not like the thought of their daughters marrying one.

Australian schoolchildren (whites) who had large numbers of blacks (Australian Aborigines) in their classes resented black welfare programs most when they had positive stereotypes of blacks.

Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 105
Hamill, Wilson & Nisbett (1980) found that people will generalize from a single instance even when they are specifically told in advance that the instance concerned is an a-typical one.
Nota - Posizione 106
x NATURA GENERALIZZANTE
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 107
Doing so, however, does not mean that some rigid mental structure has been adopted. Quite to the contrary, stereotypes are approximations. They are continually modified as information comes in

Nota - Posizione 113
x ALTRO CASO
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 115
Beyond the point where better information than what is contained in the stereotype becomes available, however, the stereotype is steadily abandoned as a guide to action.
Nota - Posizione 116
x CONCLUSIONE
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 116
Where stereotypes persist, however, are those situations where specific information will seldom be adequate or available soon enough. For instance, when confronted by an unfamiliar black, a white does not conclude that he has no information to guide him in the interaction. He instead uses his stereotypes
Nota - Posizione 118
x ASSENZA INFO
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 120
Thus a white who encounters a large black coming towards him on a dark street late at night will not normally approach the encounter with an empty mind.
Nota - Posizione 121
x ANONIMATO E STEREOTIPI
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 122
If, however, the black simply says "Nice day" when he passes, the stereotype will no longer have any role in the interaction and some pleasantry in reply may be uttered.

Bayton, McAlister & Hamer (1956).
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 129
These authors described a person to students simply as "black" and got the usual stereotypes back: "dirty", "lazy" etc. They then modified the description to "educated black" and instantly got greatly changed responses. The educated black was in fact described in terms very similar to an educated white.

c LA LETTERATURA DÀ X SCVONTATA LA DIFFERENZA
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 138
The implication is that all generalizations in such fields are dangerous. This is, however, a thoroughly unscientific orientation.
Nota - Posizione 139
x FALSE IMPLICAZIONI DI UNA CONDANNA DELLO STEREOTIPO
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 141
As it happens, however, this confusion over what is or is not a valid generalization is rendered unimportant by the account of stereotyping given so far in this paper.
Nota - Posizione 142
x LA POSIZIONE CORRETTA: NON DISTINGUERE
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 142
Rather, stereotyping is a process of successive approximation towards accurate judgments.
Nota - Posizione 143
x DEFINIZIONE ACCVURATA
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 143
The stereotype may start out containing very little in the way of accurate information but as knowledge of and experience with the particular class of person accumulates, the information will become progressively more accurate.

Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 156
We do not immediately abandon or revise the rule but instead wait until several or maybe many exceptions build up. If blacks are generally seen by whites as lazy, one diligent black man will not disturb that stereotype. "One swallow does not make a summer". If, however, lots of diligent black men are encountered, cognitive change will eventuate (Weber & Crocker, 1983).

Perhaps the most hopeful line of enquiry for psychologists, however, may be those theories and findings which portray racial preferences as just another instance of a more general human tendency to prefer the familiar and thus to prefer people who are similar to themselves (Rokeach, 1960; Stein, Hardyck & Smith, 1965; Levine & Campbell, 1972; Liebowitz & Lombardo, 1980; Taylor & Guimond, 1978; Byrne, Clore & Smeaton, 1986; Marin & Salazar, 1985; Ray, 1983).
