Study_1_replication - What is the impact of race on participants’ evaluation of emotion expressed in faces? (Replication Study)
No full textAuthors: Amit Goldenberg, Zi Huang (known in OSF as Ziyang Huang)
This study aims to replicate the findings of a previously ran study. Both studies aim to investigate how people evaluate the emotionality of black and white faces. In this current study, in an identical design to the previous study, participants will observe a crowd of 4 black and white faces. The racial makeup of the crowd will vary by percentage – it will either be 25, 50 or 75% black and either 75, 50, or 25% white respectively. The faces in the crowd will express emotions ranging from neutral to happiness or neutral to anger. Following the observation stage, participants will be asked to classify the crowd as “emotional” or “not emotional.”
This replication, as well as the first study are an extension of a set of studies that examined subjects’ abilities to evaluate crowds’ emotions (Goldenberg et al., 2020). In these initial studies we found that people tended to (a) overestimate the crowd’s emotions compared to the actual emotion, and that (b) the tendency for overestimation increased with the size of the crowd.
This first effect of over estimation – also called the crowd-emotion-amplification effect – is assumed to be caused by the fact that participants remember more salient items in a crowd in way that leads to a bias representation of actual crowd mean. The goal of the current project is to examine how people evaluate crowds when the race of the faces in the crowd is manipulated to be either white or black.
We conducted Study 1 on MTurk with a sample of 150 individuals. Some of the original hypotheses were confirmed, in others we found the exact opposite trend (see full description in hypotheses section). We therefore decided to revise our hypotheses and run this current replication

Exploring young students creativity: The effect of model eliciting activities
No full textThe aim of this paper is to show how engaging students in real-life mathematical situations can stimulate their mathematical creative thinking. We analyzed the mathematical modeling of two girls, aged 10 and 13 years, as they worked on an authentic task involving the selection of a track team. The girls displayed several modeling cycles that revealed their thinking processes, as well as cognitive and affective features that may serve as the foundation for a methodology that uses model-eliciting activities to promote the mathematical creative process
Collective Emotion Regulation
No full textWhen we think of emotion and emotion regulation, we typically think of them as processes occurring at the individual level. Even when emotions are experienced by multiple people who interact with each other, analysis is typically centered around individual-level processes. Recently, however, there is a growing realization that there is unique value in examining emotions not only at the individual, micro-level, but also at the collective, macro-level. These macro-level emotions are often called collective emotions (Goldenberg, Garcia, Halperin, & Gross, 2020), and they represent the aggregation of emotions of a certain collective in response to a specific situation as it unfolds over time. Research on collective emotions has received increased attention in the past few years as part of a broader realization that macro psychological processes such as collective memory (Vlasceanu et al., 2018), collective attention (Shteynberg, 2015) and collective intelligence (Woolley et al., 2010) can capture unique aspects of social behavior and therefore deserve specific attention. Thus far, however, growing research on collective emotion has focused on emotion generation, paying almost no attention to whether and to what extent collective emotions can be regulated. The current chapter represents an attempt to explore the concept of collective emotion regulation. In light of the lack of existing empirical on this topic I have four goals in this paper. First, to define collective emotion regulation. Second, to define the notion of emotion regulation. Third, to review some of the strategies in which collective emotion can be regulated. Fourth, to discuss important future directions for research on collective emotion regulation
Reviewing the Author-Function in the Age of Wikipedia
No full textIn Reviewing the Author-Function in the Age of Wikipedia, Amit Ray and Erhardt Graeff examine how wiki technology challenges traditional concepts of authorship and authority in knowledge production. The authors build on poststructuralist theory, particularly Roland Barthes\u27s Death of the Author and Michel Foucault\u27s concept of the author-function, to analyze how wikis destabilize individual authorship in favor of collaborative, community-driven content creation.
The essay argues that wikis represent a fundamental shift from the Romantic notion of the solitary author-genius to what they term the wiki writing process —a dynamic system where traditional roles of reader, writer, and editor blur into a unified community of users. Using Wikipedia as a primary case study, the authors demonstrate how the platform\u27s structure (article, discussion, and history pages) creates a digital palimpsest that archives all contributions while enabling continuous revision.
Through analysis of Wikipedia\u27s editing patterns and community oversight mechanisms, Ray and Graeff show how wikis embody poststructuralist principles in practice, creating what they call serial collaborations that exist in perpetual flux. The authors conclude that wikis represent an evolved form of textual production that realizes Foucault\u27s vision of discourse freed from traditional authorial constraints, offering new possibilities for collaborative knowledge creation while challenging established notions of intellectual authority and ownership
Preregistration: What is the impact of race on participants’ evaluation of emotion expressed in faces?
No full textThis study aims to investigate how people evaluate the emotionality of black and white faces. Participants will observe a crowd of 4, 8, or 12 black and white faces. The racial makeup of the crowd will vary by percentage – it will either be 25, 50 or 75% black and either 75, 50, or 25% white respectively. The faces in the crowd will either show face expressing neutral to happiness or neutral to anger. Following the observation stage, participants will be asked to classify the crowd as “emotional” or “not emotional.”
This is an extension of a set of studies that examined subjects’ abilities to evaluate crowds’ emotions (Goldenberg et al., 2020). In these initial studies we found that people tended to (a) overestimate the crowd’s emotions compared to the actual emotion, and that (b) the tendency for overestimation increased with the size of the crowd.
This effect (which we term the crowd-emotion-amplification effect) is assumed to be caused by the fact that participants remember more salient items in a crowd in way that leads to a bias representation of actual crowd mean. The goal of the current project is to examine this effect when the race of the faces in the crowd is a mix of white and black faces
