INCONGRUITY VS SUPPRESSION IN PERSON PERCEPTION: EVIDENCE FROM EVOKED POTENTIALS

这个子项目是许多利用 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 该项目的总体目标是开始一项长期研究计划，将通过事件相关电位（ERP）研究大脑活动与社会认知和个人感知相联合收割机，将两者联系起来。虽然近期目标是更好地理解和区分理论过程，但最终目标是设计一个程序，教人类感知者如何更准确地评估他人，减少偏见。 具体来说，它在这里提出了相关的事件相关电位在大脑中与感知的人适合各种刻板印象，积极和消极的，使用情感启动范式与反应潜伏期作为因变量。三个小组将被指示抑制刻板印象，使用它们的速度，或没有指示。额叶和顶叶区域的ERPs将区分弱刻板印象，刻板印象不适合或刻板印象抑制。 是否可以教人们对陌生人做出更准确的判断，以减少当对他人的负面刻板印象自动激活时所造成的暴力？这项研究将区分弱刻板印象和控制强刻板印象的能力。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The overall goal of this project is to begin a long-term program of research that will combine the study of brain activity through event-related potentials (ERPs) with that of social cognition and person perception, correlating the two. Although the immediate goal is to better understand and differentiate theoretical processes, the eventual aim is to design a program that will teach human perceivers how to evaluate others more accurately and with less bias. Specifically it is here proposed to correlate event-related potentials in the brain with perceiving persons fitting various stereotypes, positive and negative, using an affective priming paradigm with response latency as the dependent variable. Three groups will be given instructions either to suppress stereotypes, use them for speed, or no instruction. ERPs of the frontal and parietal regions will differentiate between weak stereotyping, poor fit to the stereotype, or suppression of the stereotype. Can people be taught to make more accurate judgments about strangers in order to reduce violence caused when negative stereotypes of others are automatically activated? This study will differentiate between weak stereotypes and the ability to control strong ones.
