Christopher L. Aberson Official Christopher L. Aberson, Ph.D. is Professor of Psychology at Humboldt State University. His research focuses on statistical power, teaching of statistics, and social psychology. His work has been published in Behavior Research Methods, Journal of Statistics Education, Teaching of Psychology, Personality and Social Psychology Review, Group Processes and Intergroup Relations, European Journal of Social Psychology, Journal of Applied Social Psychology, Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology, Professional Psychology: Research and Practice, and numerous other outlets. He is the author of Applied Power Analysis for the Behavioral Science (2nd ed., 2019, Routledge). He serves as Editor-in-Chief of Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy and has formerly served as Associate Editor of Journal of Applied Social Psychology and Group Processes and Intergroup Relations. He teaches statistics courses including Introductory Statistics, Analysis of Variance (graduate), and Regression/Multivariate Topics (graduate). Unofficial Chris grew up in Los Angeles, California. In Junior High (what some people call Middle School), he failed Algebra. He managed to pass the next year, largely because the teacher knew he wouldn't graduate without it. In high school he consistently earned C grades in math. Chris enrolled in community college and after two years transferred to Cal State Northridge, a large public university. He was a Biology major because he thought he wanted to be a Veterinarian. However, to study that path you have to be good at stuff like Chemistry and Physics. Chris was not good at Chemistry and Physics. He did sort of like this Abnormal Psychology course he was taking so decided to major in Psychology. After changing majors, Chris started to get a bit more focused. He did pretty well in his courses and, after randomly going to a talk about graduate school, he decided to apply. Chris applied to 7 or 8 schools, he was admitted to none. The next year he applied again but added a school that he'd heard of only because someone in one of his classes said she had been admitted. There was no internet back then so Chris had no idea that there was a Ph.D. program in Psychology about 45 minutes from his home. He applied to Claremont Graduate University and was admitted with no funding. At some point he realized that he was really good at statistics. He fights the urge to contact his middle school algebra teacher to tell him this every day. After graduate school, Chris applied to around 100 faculty positions. He ended up with a 1-year position in Pennsylvania. This was largely because he went to graduate school with the daughter of the faculty member whose sabbatical he was filling in for. The next year he applied for 40 or so positions and was extremely lucky to land the job that he holds today at Humboldt State University. Despite his terrible math skills, Chris has taught statistics for 25 years, had written statistics books, and given numerous workshops on the topic. John Bargh Official John Bargh is Professor of Psychology and Cognitive Science, and Professor of Management, at Yale University, where he is also the director of the ACME (Automaticity in Cognition, Motivation, and Evaluation) laboratory. Before moving to Yale in 2003 he was on the faculty of NYU for 22 years. Bargh received his bachelor's degree summa cum laude at the University of Illinois in 1977 and his PhD in Psychology from Michigan in 1981, where his research advisor was Robert Zajonc. Bargh's research has long focused on the automatic or unconscious influences on social perception, attitudes and behavior, and motivation and goal pursuit. This research has garnered several awards and honors, including the annual Dissertation Award (1981), the Scientific Impact Award (2007), and the Thomas Ostrom Award for Outstanding Contributions to Social Cognition from the Society for Experimental Social Psychology; both the 'Early' (1989) and the 'Career' (2014) Distinguished Scientific Contribution Awards from the American Psychological Association; a Guggenheim Fellowship (2001); the Donald Campbell Award for Distinguished Research in Social Psychology from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology (2007); an honorary doctorate from Radboud University, the Netherlands (2008), and election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2011. Bargh was an Associate Editor of both the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology and the journal Emotion, is the author of over 200 scholarly research and theoretical journal articles and chapters, and the editor of 13 books; he is also the author of Before You Know It (2017, Simon & Schuster), a survey of over four decades of research on unconscious influences in everyday life, which has now been published in 23 countries and 10 languages world-wide. Unofficial Growing up in the then and still small college town of Champaign, Illinois, John Bargh knew at a very early age of 8 that he wanted to be a psychologist and try to understand what made people do what they do. But he was startled to find out in high school and then the University of Illinois in the early 1970s what the field of psychology was actually like. He was turned off by all the courses in the brand new Illinois psychology building that taught students how to run rats in mazes, to shock them, and then to toss across the room to each other to put them away after class. He was also turned off by the many electric shocks he endured as part of the required research participation. This was not at all what he thought scientific psychology was going to be like. (His college nights were much more rewarding as he was the 9 to midnight (and often later) disc jockey at the student run FM radio station, and a career in radio was becoming a serious option). He was turned off yet again as a member of the psychology honors seminar when the majority of his classmates disclosed their career plans to become therapists in the Chicago area and make a lot of money. In the spirit of the 1960s Bargh wanted to show them he was an idealist and was interested in psychology for its own sake, and so he went around to the faculty offices in the Illinois psychology building and asked all the professors he could find which area of psychology made the least amount of money. "Social psychology", they all said, and so for that reason, in the dumbest reasoning process anyone had ever used to choose their career, Bargh now proudly announced he was applying to graduate programs in social psychology. Fortunately this was also the time of the cognitive revolution in psychology, so when Bargh squeaked into the Michigan social psychology PhD program, he also unwittingly entered one of the crucibles of the emerging field of social cognition -- his advisor Bob Zajonc's work on affect without cognition, Nisbett and Wilson's work on lack of introspective access to our mental processes, Markus's reconceptualization of classic work on the self in social cognition terms, and more. And then in the early Reagan years Bargh managed to get one of the very few jobs available in social psychology, and thereby landed at NYU, going through the extreme culture shock of moving from pastoral small town Midwest to Greenwich Village in the heart of Manhattan – and in another fortuitous stroke of fate, do so at the same time that Tory Higgins and Diane Ruble also moved there. James Ulman was already at NYU, and they were joined a few years later by Shelly Chaiken, Yaacov Trope, and Susan Andersen. To be a new little assistant professor as part of the NYU social cognition group of the 1980s, with that crew. SMH. And the benefactions just kept coming -- a first sabbatical year in the heart of Europe thanks to the generosity of Norbert Schwarz and Fritz Strack, a decade of a guest professorships at Konstanz thanks to the generosity of Peter Gollwitzer, and then over 15 years at Yale alongside Margaret Clark, the nicest human being to ever walk the planet. Not to mention an incredible series of graduate students. Bargh is not known to be humble, but he would be the first to say that he was born at the right moment in psychology's history, sleepwalked into two early cauldrons of exactly the kind of research he'd always wanted to do but had never existed before, certainly not at the moment he closed his eyes to the rats and the shocks and took the plunge anyway into a career in social psychology. Michael J. Bernstein Official Michael J. Bernstein earned a BA in Psychology and Philosophy from Muhlenberg College in 2004. He received his PhD in Social Psychology from Miami University in 2010, working with Heather Claypool and Kurt Hugenberg while there. He joined the faculty at Penn State University - Abington College in 2010 as an Assistant Professor and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2015 and to Professor in 2020. His research examines a broad range of topics but has a focus on the ways people respond to belonging threats and how such experiences tune people’s perceptual and cognitive systems to adapting to the threat. Separately, he also examines face processing utilizing a social cognitive perspective. Michael has received multiple grants from NSF to support his research and is a Fellow of the Society for Experimental Social Psychology and the Midwestern Psychological Association. He also received the George W. Atherton Award for Excellence in Teaching Penn State University. Unofficial On the drive to college move-in day, Michael Bernstein cried in the car because he was so sad he was going to Muhlenberg.

  • ATTITUDES and SOCIAL COGNITION Shifting Standards And
    ATTITUDES AND SOCIAL COGNITION Shifting Standards and Stereotype-Based Judgments Monica Biernat and Melvin Manis Four studies tested a model of stereotype-based shifts in judgment standards developed by M. Bier- nat, M. Manis, and T. E. Nelson (1991). The model suggests that subjective judgments of target persons from different social groups may fail to reveal the stereotyped expectations of judges, because they invite the. use of different evaluative standards; more "objective" or common rule indicators reduce such standard shifts. The stereotypes that men are more competent than women, women are more verbally able than men, Whites are more verbally able than Blacks, and Blacks are more athletic than Whites were successfully used to demonstrate the shifting standards phenomenon. Several individual-difference measures were also effective in predicting differential susceptibility to standard shifts, and direct evidence was provided that differing comparison standards account for substantial differences in target ratings. When judging individuals from different social groups, one rated a series of photographs on these attributes by using either may implicitly refer to his or her conception of the group mean "subjective" (Likert-type) or "objective" response scales. Ob- or standard on the dimension of interest as an important refer- jective responses included judgments in feet and inches for ence criterion. For example, when one is asked, "how tall is Ju- height, pounds for weight, and dollars earned per year for in- lia?" an answer of "very tall" can generally be taken to mean come. These are stable, externally anchored units of measure- that Julia is very tall relative to the average woman.

Social role theory predicts that parenting role, rather than gender, guides judgments of mothers and fathers.
