ABSTRACT

Prejudices tend to come as a package deal; people who are more racist tend to also be more sexist, and so on. Documentations of such attitudinal patterns – generalised prejudice – have a rich history, but the theoretical understanding thereof has been lagging. In recent years, we have seen clear theoretical advancement in the understanding of this phenomenon. We discuss classic premises in this research along with newer research that challenges some of the most ingrained ideas about generalised prejudice. For instance, we discuss research challenging the notions that generalised prejudice is an “us” versus “them” phenomenon, as well as a product of conservative ideology. We further argue that prejudice generalisations need to be studied at different levels of abstraction. Finally, we propose integrative perspectives on generalised and target-specific prejudice, with greater emphasis on processes of generalisation, rather than static generalised prejudice factors.

摘要

偏见往往是一揽子交易；更种族主义的人往往也更性别歧视，等等。这种态度模式的文件——普遍偏见——有着丰富的历史，但对其的理论理解一直滞后。近年来，我们在理解这一现象方面看到了明显的理论进步。我们讨论了这项研究中的经典前提以及挑战一些关于普遍偏见的最根深蒂固的想法的新研究。例如，我们讨论了挑战普遍偏见是“我们”与“他们”现象以及保守意识形态产物的观念的研究。我们进一步认为，偏见概括需要在不同的抽象层次上进行研究。最后，
