While categorization activates stereotypes and prejudice, the links to discrimination are not as direct. There are a number of factors that influence when discrimination is more or less likely to occur.
For instance, White people who hold more anti-Black stereotypes tend to sit farther away from Black people than White people who hold fewer negative beliefs (Sechrist & Stangor, 2001). Similarly, people who tend to hold ambivalent attitudes about Asians are less likely to want to have interpersonal relationships with Asians (Lin, Kwan, Cheung, & Fiske, 2005).
However, stereotypes and prejudice do not always result in discriminatory behavior. Three key factors play a role in whether or not stereotypes and prejudices will result in discrimination: motivation, cognitive load, and behaviors outside conscious control.
1. Internal and external motivation affects how people deal with their stereotypes and prejudices.
2. Cognitive load also plays an important role in influencing discrimination.
3. Additionally, some discriminatory behaviors are more under our conscious control than others.
