  • The Pervasiveness and Persistence of the Elderly Stereotype ∗ Amy J
    Journal of Social Issues, Vol. 61, No. 2, 2005, pp. 267--285 This Old Stereotype: The Pervasiveness and Persistence of the Elderly Stereotype ∗ Amy J. C. Cuddy Princeton University Michael I. Norton Massachusetts Institute of Technology Susan T. Fiske Princeton University Americans stereotype elderly people as warm and incompetent, following from perceptions of them as noncompetitive and low status, respectively. This article extends existing research regarding stereotyping of older people in two ways. First, we discuss whether the mixed elderly stereotype is unique to American culture. Data from six non-U.S. countries, including three collectivist cultures, demonstrate elderly stereotypes are consistent across varied cultures. Second, we investigate the persistence of the evaluatively-mixed nature of the elderly stereotype. In an experiment, 55 college students rated less competent elderly targets (stereotype- consistent) as warmer than more competent (stereotype-inconsistent) and control elderly targets. We also discuss the type of discrimination—social exclusion—that elderly people often endure. Said the little boy, “Sometimes I drop my spoon.” Said the little old man, “I do that too.” The little boy whispered, “I wet my pants.” “I do that too,” laughed the little old man. Said the little boy, “I often cry.” The old man nodded, “So do I.” “But worst of all,” said the boy, “it seems Grown-ups don’t pay attention to me.” And he felt the warmth of the wrinkled old hand. “I know what you mean,” said the little old man.

LEE* ABSTRACT This Article examines the role of leadershipin implementing the diversity rationale affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court in Grutter v. Bollinger and argues that greater di- versity and empathy are needed for effective leadership in diverse settings. In Grutter, the Court held that the University of Michigan Law School's use of race in selecting stu- dents for admission did not violate the Constitution'sEqual Protection Clause. In so do- ing, the Court affirmed Justice Powell's diversity rationaleas expressed in an earlier case, Regents of University of California v. Bakke, in which he noted that " 'the nation's future depends upon leaders trained through wide exposure' to the ideas and mores of students as diverse as this Nation of many peoples." By endorsing this diversity justifi- cation, the Grutter Court acknowledged the interdependent relationship between diversi- ty and leadership. The Court, however, did not describe the specific skills needed to lead in diverse environments and how such skills may be developed at school and afterward in the workplace.

  • 1 Psychology As a Robust Science Dr Amy Orben Lent Term 2020 When
    Psychology as a Robust Science Dr Amy Orben Lent Term 2020 When: Lent Term 2020; Wednesdays 2-4pm (Weeks 0-6; 15.1.2020 – 26.2.2020), Mondays 2-4pm (Week 7; 2.3.2020) Where: Lecture Theatre, Experimental Psychology Department, Downing Site Summary: Is psychology a robust science? To answer such a question, this course will encourage you to think critically about how psychological research is conducted and how conclusions are drawn. To enable you to truly understand how psychology functions as a science, however, this course will also need to discuss how psychologists are incentivised, how they publish and how their beliefs influence the inferences they make. By engaging with such issues, this course will probe and challenge the basic features and functions of our discipline. We will uncover multiple methodological, statistical and systematic issues that could impair the robustness of scientific claims we encounter every day. We will discuss the controversy around psychology and the replicability of its results, while learning about new initiatives that are currently reinventing the basic foundations of our field. The course will equip you with some of the basic tools necessary to conduct robust psychological research fit for the 21st century. The course will be based on a mix of set readings, class discussions and lectures. Readings will include a diverse range of journal articles, reviews, editorials, blog posts, newspaper articles, commentaries, podcasts, videos, and tweets. No exams or papers will be set; but come along with a critical eye and a willingness to discuss some difficult and controversial issues. Core readings • Chris Chambers (2017).

But before I give it away3, I want to ask you to right now do a little audit4 of your body and what you're doing with your body. So how many of you are sort of making yourselves smaller? Maybe you're hunching5, crossing your legs6, maybe wrapping your ankles7. Sometimes we hold onto our arms8 like this. Sometimes we spread out9. (Laughter) I see you. So I want you to pay attention to what you're doing right now. We're going to come back to that in a few minutes, and I'm hoping that if you learn to tweak10 this a little bit, it could significantly change the way your life unfolds. So, we're really fascinated with body language, and we're particularly interested in other people's body language. You know, we're interested in, like, you know — (Laughter) — an awkward interaction, or a smile, or a contemptuous11 glance12, or maybe a very awkward wink13, or maybe even something like a handshake. Narrator: Here they are arriving at Number 10. This lucky policeman gets to shake hands with the President of the United States. Here comes the Prime Minister -- No. Amy Cuddy: So a handshake, or the lack of a handshake, can have us talking for weeks and weeks and weeks.

  • Rhetorical Analysis Essay
    Rhetorical Analysis Masse 1 Emily Masse Professor Jackman English 503.03 27 September 2017 Your Body Language May Shape Who You Are; A Rhetorical Analysis Everyone has been in a situation where they feel on top of the world, powerful, and unstoppable. Our bodies communicate that feeling by opening up, arms extended and chin high. In contrast, everyone has been in a situation where they feel miserable, powerless, and defeated. Our bodies communicate that feeling by shrinking, wrapping arms and legs together and hunching towards the ground. Science has proven time and time again that our body reflects our emotional status, but what if it can work both ways? Can the way we position our body influence our mind in how powerful we feel? In a 2012 TED Talk by Amy Cuddy, Your Body Language May Shape Who You Are, Cuddy uses strategies such as logos, ethos, pathos, media/design, and purpose to effectively argue that body language and mindset can shape who you are and your outcomes in life. Amy Cuddy is a social psychologist, lecturer, and New York Times bestselling author who studied at Princeton University. She is a professor at Harvard Business School and has focused her research on the power of nonverbal behavior and the ways in which people affect their own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Cuddy’s breakthrough achievement in the social sciences was discovering how the concept of “fake it ’till you make it” actually has profound effects on our lives. Several of her experiments involving nonverbal behavior were mentioned in Rhetorical Analysis Masse 2 this TED Talk, where participants utilized powerful body stances and weak body stances in a series of tests to determine how physical assertions affect our mentality.

It is a pervasive phenomenon which affects multiple social groups with both immediate and lasting consequences. Therefore, it has been of a particular importance to study strategies that may serve at mitigating the effects of stereotype threat. Women, in particular, often face stereotypes that state that women are inferior to men in certain domains, among which are mathematics, spatial reasoning, driving ability, leadership, and making financial decisions. In the current study, we evaluate whether embodied cognition can be used to mitigate the effects

  • Litigation Science After the Knowledge Crisis
    42705-crn_106-3 Sheet No. 4 Side A 03/25/2021 10:13:22 \\jciprod01\productn\C\CRN\106-3\CRN302.txt unknown Seq: 1 25-MAR-21 9:54 LITIGATION SCIENCE AFTER THE KNOWLEDGE CRISIS Edith Beerdsen† The knowledge crisis that has been causing turmoil in the social sciences for the past few years represents a fundamen- tal shift in scientists’ understanding of what it takes to create reliable science. This crisis, now known as the Replication Crisis, has thrown the spotlight on research practices that undermine the reliability of research results in ways that are typically invisible and cannot be remedied or made visible after the fact. There is ample reason to believe that the defects of method uncovered in the course of the Replication Crisis are at least as pervasive in litigation science as they are in aca- demic science. Yet the legal profession has failed to recognize and address them. This Article is the first to address the broad implications of the Replication Crisis for the production of scientific knowl- edge in a civil-litigation context. Drawing on insights from the Crisis, it argues that current procedural practice is simply in- capable of providing a court with the information it needs to make an accurate assessment of the reliability of scientific evidence. The Article identifies a number of core principles, drawn from the response of academic science to the Replica- tion Crisis, that can guide reforms to the treatment of scientific evidence in civil litigation. It argues that shoring up the courts’ capacity to evaluate scientific evidence requires a rethinking of 42705-crn_106-3 Sheet No.
