Craig McGarty on Meaning - Dictionary of Arguments

Haslam I 239
Meaning/psychology/stereotypes/terminology//McGarty:
Def „differentiated meaning“: (McGarty and Turner(1992)(1) is the meaning that reflects an understanding that one thing or set of things is different from some other set of things. This is important in the context of illusory correlation: if we assume that in an illusory correlation study the perceivers are motivated to discover how Group A and Group B are different (something it is reasonable to assume since the experimenter has given them different labels), then this leads to the question of why they tend to see one group as better than the other.
>Stereotype formation/McGarty
, >Illusory correlation/Psychological theories.
Differentiated meaning could be derived by people in the illusory correlation paradigm from the process of interpreting the stimulus information in ways that did not rely on notions of distinctiveness.
>Illusory correlation/McGarty, >Social Behavior/McGarty.
