INTEGRATIVE THEORY OF SOCIAL PERCEPTION AND JUDGEMENT

这是对ADAMHA研究科学家发展奖的申请 (K02)。申请者的主要目标是发展一种综合理论 作为社会基础的认知表征和过程 判断和推理、人的感知和刻板印象。这些主题 在几个方面与精神健康有关。例如，刻板印象 有助于具体的社会条件(如偏见和 歧视)会影响许多人的心理健康，而且是负面的 刻板印象也会影响人们对精神病患者的反应。三 一系列理论和实证工作将有助于实现这一点--总则 目的：调查样本对社会分类的影响 判断；对社会推理中所涉及的认知过程的研究 和判断力，包括他们改变和提高效率的方式 以及开发新的连接主义或神经网络模型 这将整合这两个研究领域。

This is a request for an ADAMHA Research Scientist Development Award (K02). The applicant's major objective is to develop an integrative theory of the cognitive representations and processes that underlie social judgment and inference, person perception, and stereotyping. These topics relate to mental health in several ways. For example, stereotypes contribute to concrete social conditions (such as prejudice and discrimination) that affect many people's mental health, and negative stereotypes also affect people's reactions to the mentally ill. Three lines of theoretical and empirical work will contribute to this-general objective: investigation of exemplar effects on social categorization and judgment; studies of the cognitive processes involved in social inference and judgment, including the way they change and increase in efficiency with use; and development of a new connectionist or neural-network model that will integrate both of these lines of research.
