  • The Hidden Influence of Social Narratives on End-of-Life Decisions

    Open AccessStephanie H Smith, Stephanie J SmithARTICLEJournal of Applied Social Science2025

    Widespread exposure to idealized and distorted portrayals of death across news media, entertainment, and advertising has reshaped societal understandings of mortality. Often depicted as rare, swift, conquerable, or emotionally distant, death is stripped of realistic representation, obscuring the complexities of the dying process. Drawing on social cognitive theory, this interdisciplinary conceptual analysis examines how such portrayals function a…

    Open AccessBarbara E Breck, Stephanie H Smith et al.ARTICLESocial Behavior and Personality…1983

    Self-schemas of 36 socially anxious and 38 nonanxious females were assessed. According to the schema-activation hypothesis, anxious subjects were predicted to recall more negative self-descriptive traits than would nonanxious subjects only when anticipating social interaction. Both socially anxious and nonanxious subjects rated more positive than negative traits as self-descriptive. Nonanxious subjects recalled more positive traits than did anxio…

  • The effect of subject's race and other's race on judgments of causality for success and failure

    Open AccessGeorge I Whitehead, Stephanie H Smith et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality1982

    This study examined the proposition that blacks and whites make dispositional attributions for an in-group's positive behaviors and an out-group's negative behaviors. The study also examined whether this positive in-group bias was caused by dislike of the out-group or belief in a stereotype. Thus, blacks and whites made attributions to black and white others who succeeded or failed on tasks for which there was either no stereotype or a more negat…
