Likarättsträning i kampen mot fördomar och diskriminering
(2023) PSPR14 20222Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Rasism är ett fenomen som tycks ha förmåga att byta skepnad och anpassa sig till rådande omständigheter. Det behöver därför ständigt motarbetas för att minimera utanförskap och lidande. Problematiken drivs dock av starka underliggande psykologiska mekanismer som har visat sig mycket svåra att motarbeta. Ett flertal metoder har utvecklats i syfte att reducera fördomar som anses vara den affektiva drivkraften bakom diskriminering. Målet med denna studie har varit att ta fram ett verktyg som fungerar i en organisationsmiljö och som kan användas som en aktiv fördomsreducerande åtgärd i enlighet med vad diskrimineringslagen dikterar. Likrättsträningen kombinerar metoder som var för sig har visat sig vara effektiva för att reducera fördomar, men... (More)

Ett flertal metoder har utvecklats i syfte att reducera fördomar som anses vara den affektiva drivkraften bakom diskriminering. Målet med denna studie har varit att ta fram ett verktyg som fungerar i en organisationsmiljö och som kan användas som en aktiv fördomsreducerande åtgärd i enlighet med vad diskrimineringslagen dikterar. Likrättsträningen kombinerar metoder som var för sig har visat sig vara effektiva för att reducera fördomar, men som inte tidigare har provats ut i denna kombination. Med syftet att testa om likarättsträningen leder till reducerade fördomar användes en kvasiexperimentell design med omväxlande replikationer och två experimentfaser. Tre vitt skilda organisationer inkluderades i studien (N = 76). Resultaten visade på signifikant reducerade fördomar med en medelstor effekt, vilket också replikerades i den andra experimentfasen. Likarättsträningen hade till viss del kvarvarande effekter, vilket diskuteras utifrån att interventioner kan behöva tid att sjunka in. Motstånd diskuteras vidare som ett betydande hinder som måste hanteras för att fördomsreduceringen ska bli framgångsrik. Fler studier behövs för att fastställa optimal längd och intensitet för att likarättsträningen ska ge bäst effekt på lång sikt. (Less)
- Abstract
- Racism is a phenomenon that seems to be able to shift shape and adjust to current circumstances. Therefore, it needs to be battled at all times to minimize exclusion and suffering. Furthermore, it is driven by underlying psychological mechanisms that have proven very difficult to counteract. A plethora of methods have been developed with the aim of reducing prejudice, which is considered the affective driving force behind discrimination. The goal with this study was to construct a tool that works in an organizational setting, which can be used as an active intervention to combat discrimination in accordance with the discrimination act. It combines methods that each have proven effective in reducing prejudice, but that previously have not... (More)

The goal with this study was to construct a tool that works in an organizational setting, which can be used as an active intervention to combat discrimination in accordance with the discrimination act. It combines methods that each have proven effective in reducing prejudice, but that previously have not been validated in this combination. A quasi experimental design with switching replications and two experimental phases was used with the aim to assess if the equality training leads to reduced prejudice. Three vastly different organizations were included in the study (N = 76). The results showed significant prejudice reduction with a medium effect size, which were replicated in the second experimental phase. The equality training showed partially persistent effects which are discussed from the perspective that interventions may need time to sink in. Resistance is further discussed as an obstacle that must be managed for a prejudice reduction intervention to be successful. More studies are needed to determine optimal length and intensity for the equality training to best provide long term changes. (Less)
