  • negative illusions conceptual clarification and psychological evidence concerning False Consciousness
    Political Psychology, 1995
    Co-Authors: John T Jost
    Abstract:

    The concept of False Consciousness is reviewed from a historical perspective and discussed in light of recent theoretical advances in socialist and feminist political philosophy. False Consciousness is defined as the holding of False beliefs that are contrary to one's social interest and which thereby contribute to the disadvantaged position of the self or the group. It is argued that considerable psychological evidence for False Consciousness exists and that a thorough understanding of the phenomenon integrates several lines of research on the problem of political acquiescence. Six basic types of False Consciousness are proposed: (1) Failure to perceive injustice and disadvantage, (2) Fatalism, (3) Justification of social roles, (4) False attribution of blame, (5) identification with the oppressor, and (6) Resistance to change. Because the concept of False Consciousness is likely to arouse suspicion because of its Marxian origins, several theoretical and methodological objections to the scientific study of False Consciousness are raised and addressed

  • the role of stereotyping in system justification and the production of False Consciousness
    British Journal of Social Psychology, 1994
    Co-Authors: John T Jost, Mahzarin R Banaji
    Abstract:

    Although the concept of justification has played a significant role in many social psychological theories, its presence in recent examinations of stereotyping has been minimal. We describe and evaluate previous notions of stereotyping as ego-justification and group-justification and propose an additional account, that of system-justification, which refers to psychological processes contributing to the preservation of existing social arrangements even at the expense of personal and group interest. It is argued that the notion of system-justification is necessary to account for previously unexplained phenomena, most notably the participation by disadvantaged individuals and groups in negative stereotypes of themselves, and the consensual nature of stereotypic beliefs despite differences in social relations within and between social groups. We offer a selective review of existing research that demonstrates the role of stereotypes in the production of False Consciousness and develop the implications of a system-justification approach. [T]he rationalizing and justifying function of a stereotype exceeds its function as a reflector of group attributes—G. W. Allport (1958, p. 192).

  • multiple Consciousness False Consciousness
    Transcultural Psychiatry, 1998
    Co-Authors: Michael G Kenny
    Abstract:

    Cet article presente un commentaire critique et quelques observations concernant l'approche en psychiatrie transculturelle de Ian Hacking dans son ouvrage Rewriting the soul : multiple personality and the sciences of memory (1995). La these de Hacking s'inscrit dans les courants intellectuels herites de Foucauld (l'archeologie du savoir), de la philosophie analytique et de l'histoire des statistiques ; a partir des conclusions apportees par ces approches theoriques, Hacking s'est interesse au concept de la personnalite multiple qu'il remet en cause.
