Social Perception and Social Reality: Why Accuracy Dominates Bias and Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
Jussim, Lee (Professor and Chair, Department of Psychology, Professor and Chair, Department of Psychology, Rutgers University, New Brunswick)
Social Perception and Social Reality contests the received wisdom in the field of social psychology that suggests that social perception and judgment are generally flawed, biased, and powerfully self-fulfilling. Jussim reviews a wealth of real world, survey, and experimental data collected over the last century to show that in fact, social psychological research consistently demonstrates that biases and self-fulfilling prophecies are generally weak, fragile,and fleeting. Furthermore, research in the social sciences has shown stereotypes to be accurate.
