-
The use of ourselves is contributable to constructing prejudice
Question 9

Question 23

Question 32
Question
Irish gay rights activist and drag queen Fanti was threatened with legal action in 2014 for calling anti-gay marriage activists "homophobic". What is this?
Question 33
Question
Has the discursive approach into stereotypes used enough interactional sequential context?
Question 34
Question
Conversation analysis removes the interactional and sequential context in prejudice research and looks at standalone talk. According to Condor (et al., 2006), do we need sequential context?
Answer
-
Yes, because we can then avoid making misplaced suppositions about what the prejudiced talk is actually being used to do
-
No, because standalone talk is fine enough
Question 35
Question
In the Condor (et al., 2006), Mrs. A's right to carry on speaking on the topic is because:
Question 36
Question
How is the potential competitive or challenging talk from Mr. B welcomed by Mrs. A in the Condor (et al., 2006) study?
Answer
-
Unwelcoming, a disturbance
-
Welcomed, because it offers a debate
Question 37
Question

Question 39
Question
In the Condor (et al., 2006) study, is Cliff - the researcher - still part of the study? Do participants still respond to him and his actions (including silence) in the talk?
Question 40
Question
Do we need more data of prejudiced talk in everyday interactions?
Answer
-
Yes, so that participants talk like they would regardless of whether research is involved
-
No, because inauthentic research can be just as productive
Question 41
Question
From a cognitive social psychology perspective, does discursive research sufficiently articulate the cognitive processes and causes relate to prejudice?
Question 42
Question
The findings from the discursive approach inform what type of psychology about research into prejudice? For example, how prejudice talk treats itself as a potentially sanctionable activity, how prejudiced talk constructs versions of the denigrated other, and how prejudiced talk is produced collaboratively).
Question 43
Question
According to Billig (2002), is the hatred separate from the discourse?
Answer
-
No, because you need to believe it and to utter sorts of particular things about others

Deteriorated outgroup attitudes, increased stereotyping, intergroup anxiety, and was far too complex
