Talk:Counterstereotype

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Given that countersterotypes exist, discussing them is not inherently biased. I have removed material pertaining to nonconformity to a stereotype rather than to counter-stereotypes per se. The list of examples added little value and was frequently vandalized, so I have reworked it. Spacepotato 00:32, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If this can escape deletion, great, but it seems better suited to the TV Tropes Wiki to me. --DocumentN (talk) 02:26, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Errors in: Social psychology of counterstereotypical people

[edit]

Hi fellow Wikipedians,

I'm new to wikipedia so am unsure if this is the correct place to say this, but: In the section titled "Social psychology of counterstereotypical people" it states "Social psychologists have found that people tend to react more negatively to counterstereotypical people than to stereotypical people.", however, the reference links to a single study (a survey conducted online) of which the abstract states: "People liked counterstereotypical individuals more than stereotypical individuals when target individuals were described using adjectives. In contrast, they showed no bias or a negative bias against counterstereotypical individuals who were described using behaviors.". This seems at odds with, and is certainly more complex than, the statement made on the wikipedia page. It also seems erroneous to state "Social psychologists have found...", when the three authors of this single article appear to be undergraduates, as none of them have qualifications or accreditations listed with their names. Should I suggest that the wording of the statement on wikipedia be altered to appropriately reflect the findings of the study? Something like, "A study conducted online found that respondents showed a preference for counterstereotypical people over stereotypical people when they were described by adjectives, however, when counterstereotypical or stereotypical people were described by their behaviours it was unclear if there was any definite preference." ?

As this is my first time commenting on a wiki page, I won't make any alterations myself and will await for someone more experienced to advise of the proper procedure.
