Person Perception, Bruce D. Bartholow, Cheryl L. Dickter Sep 2011

Person Perception, Bruce D. Bartholow, Cheryl L. Dickter

Arts & Sciences Book Chapters

The complexities of the brain and nervous system make neuroscience an inherently interdisciplinary pursuit, one that comprises disparate basic, clinical, and applied disciplines. Behavioral neuroscientists approach the brain and nervous system as instruments of sensation and response; cognitive neuroscientists view the same systems as a solitary computer with a focus on representations and processes. The Oxford Handbook of Social Neuroscience marks the emergence of a third broad perspective in this field. Social neuroscience emphasizes the functions that emerge through the coaction and interaction of conspecifics, the neural mechanisms that underlie these functions, and the commonality and differences across social species …

The Effects Of Stereotypical Cues On The Social Categorization And Judgment Of Ambiguous-Race Targets, Virginia A. Newton, Cheryl L. Dickter, Ivo Gyurovski

Arts & Sciences Articles

The current study was conducted to test the hypotheses that categorization and subsequent judgments of ambiguous-race targets would be affected by contextual stereotypical cues, and moderated by personality traits of the perceiver. Participants viewed a social networking profile of an ambiguous-race individual with Black, White, or neutral stereotypical information presented in a between-subjects design. In accordance with hypotheses, results indicated that the ambiguous-race targets were categorized congruently with the stereotypical information. Additionally, several of the subsequent judgments about the target’s traits differed as a function of this stereotypic information as well as personality traits of the perceiver, such as prejudice …

Yet the research base from the student perspective on the pertinent elements that influence meaningful relationships between students and teachers, namely trust, is largely missing.;The purpose of this study was to examine the construct …
