Stereotypes of outgroups help create social identificational boundaries for ingroups. When the ingroup is dominant, members employ individualist sentiments to justify their status. In this study, we build on advances in social psychological research that account for multiple outgroup stereotypes. We argue the Asian American model minority stereotype is analogous to the "cold but competent" position of perceptions toward Asians in Fiske's stereotype content model. Asian Americans are perceived to be exceptional to other minority groups, and we hypothesize that perceived competence is associated with individualist sentiments directed at Blacks and Latinos. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Freshmen, we find support for our hypotheses but find that perceived coldness has no relationship to individualist sentiments. We discuss the implications and directions for further research.

Objective and ApproachFunded by the Economic and Social Research Council (2021-2024), a core aim of the ELC-FS was to establish a sampling frame by linking birth registrations and maternity records in the four UK nations (England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) to facilitate recruitment of ~2000 families into a new birth cohort study. An opt-out recruitment approach was essential. Widespread public dialogue work was undertaken to glean the attitudes and perspectives of stakeholders including data controllers, data users, and parents of young children, as to the acceptability of this recruitment model.
ResultsAchieving the sampling frame required nation-specific approaches due to differences in existing legislation governing secondary use of administrative data. Complex and protracted negotiations with data controller approval panels were necessary. Public dialogue work revealed that stakeholders were: (i) excited by the prospect of a new UK-wide birth cohort study to provide invaluable insights into the lives of a new generation; and (ii) broadly accepting of the proposed use of administrative data for generating a sampling frame, particularly in terms of ensuring that the ELC-FS study has diverse and inclusive representation of family life in the UK today.
ConclusionsELC-FS fieldwork will be completed by mid-2024. Preliminary analyses to be presented at the conference will assess the suitability of the sampling frame for achieving the target ELC-FS sample.
ImplicationsWith careful engagement with stakeholders at a national level, access to linked administrative data as a sampling frame for a UK-wide birth cohort study is achievable, but not straightforward.
