Ambiguous Situations

Whether racism is perceived in ambiguous situations may depend on individual differences in perceivers’ beliefs about the prevalence of racial prejudice and discrimination, trivialization of targets’ concerns, and vigilance and confidence in recognizing instances of racial prejudice. In Studies 1 and 2, we develop a psychometrically sound measure of these beliefs, the Propensity to Make Attributions to Prejudice Scale (PMAPS), and provide evidence that the PMAPS is related to individual differences in the justification and suppression of prejudice. Studies 3 and 5 provide evidence that the PMAPS predicts attributions to prejudice in a variety of situations. Theoretically consistent racial and gender differences in the PMAPS were found in a large sample (Study 4). Together, these data provide evidence supporting the reliability and validity of the PMAPS and provide insights about the role that beliefs and expectations play in third-party observers’ judgments about expressions of prejudice.

Resumen: El presente artículo analiza la problemáticadel desarrollo socioeconómico en Latinoamérica a la luzde la perspectiva de género; articulando tres conceptosesenciales, desarrollo, género y perspectiva de género,se afirma que sin equidad de género no hay desarrollo.A partir de los aportes mencionados, se contempla laposibilidad de integrar indicadores que incluyan la relaciónhombre-mujer en la planificación del desarrollo endiversas instituciones y organismos internacionales, quepermitan evaluar la situación específica de las mujeres y agran escala generar procesos de desarrollo humanizados.Palabras claves: desarrollo, género, perspectiva de género,indicadores de género, planificación.No Development Is Possible without Gender EquityAbstract: The present article analyzes the problematicof socioeconomic development in Latin America in lightof the gender perspective. Articulating three essentialconcepts, development, gender and gender perspective,the conclusion is reached that no gender equity means nodevelopment. The possibility is contemplated of integratingindicators that include gender relations in developmentplanning in diverse institutions and internationalorganizations, in order to evaluate the specific situationof women and to generate large-scale humanized developmentprocesses.Key Words: development, gender, gender perspective,gender indicators, planning.

Objective Tests

Tool use is an important facet of everyday life, though sometimes it is necessary to use tools in ways that do not fit within their typical functions. Here we asked participants to imagine characters using objects based on instructions that fit the prototypical actions for the object or were atypical in a novel object-action imagery task. Atypical action instructions either described sensible, substitute uses of the object, or actions that were bizarre but possible. Participants were better able to imagine the prototypical than atypical actions, but no effect of bizarreness was found. We additionally assessed inter-individual differences in movement imagery ability using two objective tests. Performance in the object-action imagery task correlated with the movement imagery tests, providing a link between motor simulations and mental imagery ability.
