Psychological research has neglected people whose accent does not match their appearance. Most research on person perception has focused on appearance, overlooking accents that are equally important social cues. If accents were studied, it was often done in isolation (i.e., detached from appearance). We examine how varying accent and appearance information about people affects evaluations. We show that evaluations of expectancy-violating people shift in the direction of the added information. When a job candidate looked foreign, but later spoke with a native accent, his evaluations rose and he was evaluated best of all candidates (Experiment 1a). However, the sequence in which information was presented mattered: When heard first and then seen, his evaluations dropped (Experiment 1b). Findings demonstrate the importance of studying the combination and sequence of different types of information in impression formation. They also allow predicting reactions to ethnically mixed people, who are increasingly present in modern societies.
As immigration and mobility increases, so do interactions between people from different linguistic backgrounds. Yet while linguistic diversity offers many benefits, it also comes with a number of challenges. In seven empirical articles and one commentary, this Special Issue addresses some of the most significant language challenges facing researchers in the 21st century: the power language has to form and perpetuate stereotypes, the contribution language makes to intersectional identities, and the role of language in shaping intergroup relations. By presenting work that aims to shed light on some of these issues, the goal of this Special Issue is to (a) highlight language as integral to social processes and (b) inspire researchers to address the challenges we face. To keep pace with the world’s constantly evolving linguistic landscape, it is essential that we make progress toward harnessing language’s power in ways that benefit 21st century globalized societies.
Studenten, StudentInnen, Studierende? Aktuelle Verwendungspräferenzen bei Personenbezeichnungen
(2020)
Im Beitrag werden Meinungen und Einstellungen zur geschlechtergerechten Sprache dargestellt. Dazu werden verschiedene Möglichkeiten für die Bezeichnung von Personen, die studieren, in den Blick genommen. Diese werden zunächst beschrieben und ihre Frequenzen im Deutschen Referenzkorpus ausgewertet. Anschließend werden explizit die Meinungen und Einstellungen behandelt. Dafür werden die Daten der Deutschland-Erhebung 2008 und der Deutschland-Erhebung 2017 ausgewertet. In der aktuellen Erhebung wurden laienlinguistische Verwendungspräferenzen von Personenbezeichnungen erhoben; präferiert wird von den meisten Befragten die Partizipialform (den Studierenden). Die Verwendungspräferenzen hangen vor allem mit dem Alter der Befragten und ihrer politischen Orientierung zusammen. Insgesamt zeigt sich jedoch, dass das Thema der geschlechtergerechten Sprache für die meisten Befragten nur eine untergeordnete Rolle spielt.
