An Examination Of Common Strategies To Improve Intergroup Relations And Minority Group Members’ Perceptions Of Group Social Standing And Individual Power, Marie Carroll

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference

With few exceptions, the research examining perspective taking and empathy as intergroup relation strategies has focused on the benefits of each strategy on members of the majority group (Vorauer & Quesnel, 2016). However, when researchers have included measures to examine the effects of these intergroup relation strategies on minority group members, they have only focused on how enjoyable the experience was for the target and if they experienced happiness as a result of the experience (e.g., Vorauer, Martens, & Sasaki, 2009) For instance, Todd, Bodenhausen, Richeson, and Galinsky (2011) found that Black participants experienced increased intergroup positivity with White participants …

The Ultimate Culture Change Learning Session, Tim Kuppler

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference

Awareness of the importance of culture is growing at a fast rate but there is no consistent understanding about how to effectively evolve culture with a direct and sustainable impact on performance. This awareness-understanding gap helps to explain why most organizations report they don’t understand their culture and believe change is needed. Culture crises (Uber, etc.) gain widespread exposure and superficial tips and keys dominate the popular press.

Your Attention Please! Careless Responding As A Threat To Data Quality, Nathan Bowling Oct 2016

Your Attention Please! Careless Responding As A Threat To Data Quality, Nathan Bowling

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference

When I/O psychologists collect self-report data, they hope that every participant will carefully reflect on every questionnaire item. Unfortunately, this is not always the case: Datasets often include some participants who have responded carelessly to part—or all—of the study questionnaire (Meade & Craig, 2012). In this presentation I will discuss the detection and prevention of careless responding and I will identify the conditions that are most likely to produce careless responding. The following subsections provide an overview of my presentation. Careless responding occurs when research participants provide inaccurate data because they have failed to carefully read or comply with questionnaire …
