#SayHer(Young)Name: The relationship between dehumanization and perceptions of police violence against Black girls.
No full textThe proposed research seeks to investigate the types of dehumanization Black girls may experience and the relationship to perceptions of police use of force against them. It also examines how the intersectional identities of Black girls may lead to increased dehumanization above that experienced by White girls
Evaluator & Attorney Perceptions of Masked Referral in Forensic Evaluations
No full textThis project involves two concurrently run surveys on experiences and attitudes toward masked referral of forensic evaluators during legal evaluations. One survey is directed toward forensic evaluators (those who receive forensic evaluation referrals from attorneys). The other survey is directed toward attorneys (those who request forensic evaluations from qualified evaluators). The surveys have significant overlap (same questions) but also include unique questions and framing relevant to the populations assessed
Attitudes and Policy Support Regarding “People who Committed Sex Offenses”: Impact of Person First Language in Context of Individual Processing Styles
No full textThis project examines contexts in which person-first language impacts attitudes toward people who committed sex offenses by accounting for people’s processing tendencies. After completing a measure assessing processing style (cognitive vs. affective), participants will read about the effectiveness of residence restrictions. The passage will use either person-first (“people who have committed sex offenses”) or label-first (“sex offenders”) language. Participants will then complete self-report measures on their attitudes, perceptions, and support for policies toward people who committed sex offenses (manipulating whether measures use label-first or person-first language). Results will offer novel information on how person-first language impacts attitudes and policy support toward people who committed sex offenses, which would likely extend to other justice-relevant or otherwise stigmatized
groups. Findings will carry implications for ways researchers and media can effectively communicate to others when using person-first language
Perceptions of Laboratory Plea Bargaining
No full textWith most criminal cases in the US being resolved via plea bargaining, there is surprisingly little understanding of the factors that impact a defendant’s decision-making process. A confession is one such factor that may drive people to accept plea bargains – even when they are innocent.
Previously, we used an established confession laboratory paradigm (the “cheating paradigm”; Russano et al., 2005) to find that people are more likely to accept a plea bargain when they have confessed, despite being factually innocent in a lab task. Here, we will test laypeoples’ reactions to this paradigm and situation to investigate whether participants appreciate the gravity of even lab-based plea-bargaining
Examining the Influence of Racial Stereotypically on the Relationship between Disgust and Dehumanization in Predicting Jurors' Capital Sentencing Decisions
No full textRecent research has often failed to find an effect of prejudice for racial bias in legal decision making. Therefore, it is possible that dehumanization, rather than prejudice, predicts these biased decisions. This could then help us better understand how racial bias operates in the legal system. If the proposed pathways are found, future research could explore how rehumanization tactics may be used to reduce racial bias in legal decisions
The State of Assessing Issues of Race and Racism in Law Enforcement Suitability Evaluations
No full textSurvey of police psychologists on how they assess issues related to race and racism in law enforcement suitability evaluations, perceptions of what should be done, and perceptions of what is possible
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
