Ā 
Chris PetskoĀ studies which stereotypes come to mind in a given moment. Heā€™s a social psychologist and postdoctoral scholar at Duke University. I talk with Chris about his ā€œlens-based account of intersectional stereotyping,ā€ which argues that we can only pay attention toĀ oneĀ social identity at a time. As a result, the stereotypes that come to mind depend on the one lens through which weā€™re seeing someone at the moment. Things we mention in this episode:

  • Walter Lippmanā€˜s 1922 bookĀ ā€œPublic Opinionā€
  • Testing a lens-based account of intersectional stereotyping (Petsko, Rosette, & Bodenhausen,Ā 2022)
  • An early summary of a lens-based theory of categorization and stereotyping (Petkso & Bodenhausen,Ā 2020)
  • Sexual orientation and racial identity interact to predict relevant outcomes (Petsko & Bodenhausen,Ā 2019)
