Social Norms: Conditional Preferences and Mutual Expectations

社会认知研究研究人们如何看待他人，以及他们如何认为自己对彼此形成印象，这是当今地球村的一个重要话题。欧洲社会认知网络的年度会议为国际科学交流提供了一个独特的论坛，重点是最近的发展。PI对社会规范中的类别突出性和社会脚本的作用进行了前沿研究。 尽管过去的工作强调了多样性的缺点，特别是群体环境中观点差异的缺点，但PI的工作表明，例如，大群体中的观点多样性可以促进公平的社会规范。 PI和一名博士后学者需要资金参加2010年8月25日至29日在瑞典哥德堡举行的年度会议。PI是受邀的全体会议发言人。 会议混合初级（70%）和高级（30%）的研究人员，来自15-20个国家，主要是但不全是欧洲;所有目前的研究，并获得集中的反馈。与会者进行正式和非正式的互动，促进国际研究合作和未来联系的一般网络，有助于将年轻的研究人员融入国际科学界。这个旅行奖是为了表彰PI参与这项工作的广泛影响。

Social cognition research studies how people think about others and as well as how they think they form impressions of each other, a critical topic in today's global village. The European Social Cognition Network's annual conference provides a unique forum for international scientific exchange, focusing on recent developments. The PI conducts cutting-edge research on the role of category salience and social scripts in social norms. Whereas past work has emphasized drawbacks of diversity and especially drawbacks of differences in perspective in group settings, the PI's work shows, for example, that diversity of perspectives in large groups can promote the social norm of fairness. Funds are requested for the PI and a current postdoctoral scholar to attend the annual conference in Gothenberg, Sweden, August 25-29th, 2010. The PI is an invited plenary speaker. The conference mixes junior (70%) and senior (30%) researchers, from 15-20 countries, mostly but not all European; all present research and receive concentrated feedback. Attendees interact formally and informally, fostering international research collaboration and general networks for future contact, serving to integrate the younger researchers into the international scientific community. This travel award ontributes to the broader impacts of the PI's involvement in this work.
