Status and Cooperation Shape Lesbian Stereotypes
View through CrossRef
Research on perceptions of homosexuals implicitly assumes that individuals think about lesbians as an undifferentiated group. By contrast, this paper investigated the stereotypes of the overall category as well as of different subgroups of lesbians within the frame of the stereotype content model (SCM). Participants (N = 70) rated the overall category and four subgroups on perceived warmth, competence, status, and interdependence (cooperative vs. competitive). Results showed that the overall category landed in the middle of the competence-warmth space, while the subgroups spread across the SCM dimensions. Moreover, perceived status and cooperation predicted competence and warmth stereotypes, respectively. Perceived competition failed to predict warmth stereotypes. The importance of these findings for lesbian stereotyping and for the SCM is discussed.
Title: Status and Cooperation Shape Lesbian Stereotypes
Description:
Research on perceptions of homosexuals implicitly assumes that individuals think about lesbians as an undifferentiated group.
By contrast, this paper investigated the stereotypes of the overall category as well as of different subgroups of lesbians within the frame of the stereotype content model (SCM).
Participants (N = 70) rated the overall category and four subgroups on perceived warmth, competence, status, and interdependence (cooperative vs.
competitive).
Results showed that the overall category landed in the middle of the competence-warmth space, while the subgroups spread across the SCM dimensions.
Moreover, perceived status and cooperation predicted competence and warmth stereotypes, respectively.
Perceived competition failed to predict warmth stereotypes.
The importance of these findings for lesbian stereotyping and for the SCM is discussed.
