Abstract

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.

《普遍偏见:关于社会权力、意识形态冲突和抽象程度的教训》

偏见往往是一揽子交易;更有种族主义倾向的人往往也更有性别歧视倾向，等等。关于这种态度模式——广义偏见——的文献有着丰富的历史，但对它的理论理解一直滞后。近年来，我们在对这一现象的理解方面取得了明显的理论进展。我们在这项研究中讨论了经典的前提，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”对“他们”现象的概念的研究，以及保守意识形态的产物。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，我们提出了关于泛化偏见和特定目标偏见的综合观点，更强调泛化过程，而不是静态的泛化偏见因素。

期刊介绍： The "European Review of Social Psychology (ERSP)" is a distinguished international journal that operates under the patronage of the European Association of Social Psychology. It serves as a platform for comprehensive, theory-driven reviews that cover the broad spectrum of social psychology. The journal is open to submissions from authors worldwide and is guided by a prestigious international editorial board. ERSP is particularly interested in publishing reviews that reflect the author's own research program, as demonstrated by their publications in leading peer-reviewed journals. The journal values theoretical contributions that are grounded in a substantial empirical foundation, situating the research within the broader context of existing literature and offering a synthesis that goes beyond the individual articles. In addition to these in-depth reviews, ERSP also welcomes conventional reviews and meta-analyses, further enriching the journal's offerings. By focusing on high-quality, evidence-based research, ERSP contributes significantly to the advancement of knowledge in social psychology and fosters a deeper understanding of human social behavior across cultures and societies.
