Self-expansion: Intergroup and sociocultural factors
No full textSelf-expansion theory suggests that people are motivated to broaden the self (Aron & Aron, 1986; Aron & Aron, 1996; Aron, Aron, & Norman, 2001). A primary way of expanding the self is through close relationships, where others become included in the self-concept. A large body of research on self-expansion theory has examined self-expansion in close relationships in the context of romantic dyads. We expand on this research to shed light on a growing line of work that explores self-expansion and intergroup contact. We begin with an overview of self-expansion theory, focusing on the motivational aspect and the cognitive aspect of inclusion of other in the self. We then discuss self-expansion and intergroup contact at the level of friendships and broaden this application to intergroup contact in romantic couples. Further, we discuss individual differences in motivation to self-expand via intergroup relations and examine research on intergroup relations, both as a means of individual self-expansion and as a mechanism for prejudice reduction and improved outgroup attitudes. We also review the literature on how inclusion of other in the self is linked with positive intergroup outcomes. Finally, we suggest next steps to broaden and deepen this important work and discuss implications and connections with work on self-construal

The paper considers a variant of Alspach\u27s Conjecture concerning sequences with distinct partial products modulo n in the setting of dihedral groups. Methods used include direct combinatorial constructions and non-constructive existence proofs via the combinatorial nullstellensatz
University Nonprofit Courses Use Charity Navigator As Part Of The Curriculum

Projections of Race at the Nouveau Cirque: The Clown Acts of Foottit and Chocolat
No full textThe essay reveals through an analysis of the famous Parisian circus clown, Chocolat, how the performer may find moments of adaptation, innovation, and subversion within the confines of comic and racialized stereotypes. Amid the commodification of his race, through moments of irony, deceit, and insubordination, he also created opportunities that undermined the black/white dichotomy within the clown/auguste paradigm
