I also summarize evidence indicating that the activation of an implicit theory creates a motivated bias that privileges information that is consistent with the theory. Taken together, I suggest ways in which taking an implicit theories approach sheds new light on foundational social information ...
This phenomenon, known as social desirability (SD) bias, can distort prevalence estimates or measures of association between constructs, making it a critical issue in survey research (Stocké and Hunkler 2006). To address SD bias, various methods have been proposed, including the use of forgiving...
To understand this last point, implicit bias (or implicit association) testing is considered to be the way in which implicit biases can be detected. The way this testing proceeds is to present a person with a number of words with some clearly identifiable valence (e.g., positive versus negat...
The developers of the test advocated that such implicit attitudes may then have a downstream impact on behavior in a similarly unconscious manner. From such a perspective, implicit bias is viewed in essence as a causal latent variable; a mental structure in the form of associations that affects ...
In this section we revisit I-patches, and show a new interpretation based on distances. 3.1. Basic concept Multi-sided I-patches are defined by a loop of 3D curves; each curve ci is the intersection of two surfaces given in implicit form ci={Pi=0}⋂{Bi=0}, where Pi(x,y,z)=0 ...
A particularly compelling example of how past experiences can shape current conscious perception is the phenomenon of awareness priming (Lamy et al., 2017;Lin et al., 2017;Lin and Murray, 2014;Lin and Murray, 2015): In their seminal work,Lin and Murray (2014)demonstrated that the perceptual...
Shleifer (2005) proposes “enforcement theory,” arguing that government regulation is a trade-off between the costs of social disorder and dictatorship. Government regulation has many advantages in controlling disorder effectively. Government agencies could be more ready and effective, than courts, to ...
