    Determinants of Autonomic Responses to Test Taking

    Literature shows a relationship between test taking and status threat &ndash; that is, individuals experience an increase in sympathetic nervous system activity when exposed to a threat prior to taking a test (Bian et al., 2022). However, no work has examined differences by trait dominance and trait prestige, two differentiable but viable routes by which humans earn social status. This study investigated whether dominant or prestigious personality types cause differences in autonomic responses to test taking in a setting in which social status is threatened. It was expected that individuals with dominant personalities will have greater autonomic responses to test taking when presented with social status threat because dominant individuals are more likely to experience greater cardiovascular responses to threat when compared to individuals who are more prestigious (Knight, 2022). An in-person experiment using human subjects collected data from 77 participants (N = 77). Participants (n = 77, 62% women; aged 18-46 years) were exposed to a status threat vs. control condition prior to being asked to complete a difficult quantitative and verbal test. Throughout the duration of the experiment, cardiovascular autonomic data were collected, including heart rate variability and cardiac impedance. Multilevel models were used to analyze changes in self-reported, physiological, and test score data. The results show that there is not a significant effect of personality type on autonomic responses when given a status threatening set of instructions, however, other variables were found to have significant interactions. Further discussion and study implications are also talked about in this paper.&nbsp;</p

    On Friction: Challenges of Equitable Access

    Much attention has been paid to making academia more diverse and equitable, yet strategies developed to encourage diversity equity, and inclusion sometimes come into conflict with one another. Less attention has been paid to this question of what scholars and activists call &ldquo;access friction&rdquo;: &ldquo;a situation in which people have seemingly&nbsp;opposing&nbsp;access needs.&rdquo; (Silverman 2024) Considering access friction is essential for not only encouraging but sustaining diversity and equity; as more undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty, and staff with access needs enter the academy, conflicting access needs become more likely and those conflicts have the potential to push people to reconsider their ability to persist and thrive in a given institutional context&mdash;or in educational institutions altogether. (Price 2011, Price 2024, Smilges 2023) In this project, I summarize core debates around access friction and provide recommendations for understanding and approaching access friction.&nbsp;</p

    Trust Determines Impact: Effects of Targeting, Self-Efficacy, and Societal Change Messaging on Black Women’s Exercise Intentions

    Trust in physicians is crucial to the health outcomes of all patients. One area where this trust is especially critical is when physicians provide patients with recommendations for physical activity. However, Black women in the United States (U.S.) have a historically-justified mistrust of physicians, as well as many cultural and societal barriers interfering with their ability to engage in sufficient physical activity. Many physicians use health messages targeted to patients&rsquo; identities, but these targeted messages are at times harmful to Black women. In order to mitigate the harm and increase exercise intentions, I explored how health message framing (targeted, self-efficacy, and societal change) can be used by White physicians to effectively communicate the need for physical activity to Black women.[SC1]&nbsp; 538 Black women participants read one of eight different health messages that were either targeted (discussed Black women) or not (discussed Americans). The messages also included or excluded content about self-efficacy and societal change. The targeted messages significantly decreased trust in the message source and increased counterarguing. The self-efficacy messages decreased counterarguing and marginally increased exercise intentions. Finally, the societal change messages increased perceived behavioral control and positive attitudes toward exercise. Self-efficacy and societal change messages add benefits that may increase exercise intentions. However, the harmful effects of targeted messages highlight the need for better methods of communication between Black women patients and White physicians.</p
