Impact of a Low-Stakes Assessments Model with Retake in General Chemistry: Connecting to Student Attitudes and Self-Concept
Across a variety of fields, the use of low-stakes assessments has led to reductions in achievement gaps and improved student success. Here, we probe the use of a low-stakes assessment model with a retake option for failed quizzes in a two-semester general chemistry sequence. We find that the quiz-retake rate in general chemistry II was significantly higher for students who had completed a retake in a general chemistry I section, and the percentag…
Design, Evolution, and Evaluation of a General Chemistry-Bridging Course
General chemistry I/II courses are important gateway courses for a variety of STEM majors, as poor performance in these courses is often associated with lower rates of student success and retention. Much research has explored preparatory or remedial strategies to improve student outcomes. In this article, we report a different approach, which involved the development of a bridging or intervention course designed to capture students who are not or…

Zeroing in on the best early-course metrics to identify at-risk students in general chemistry: An adaptive learning pre-assessment vs. traditional diagnostic exam
General chemistry are key gateway courses for many Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) majors. To improve student outcomes, it is critical both to identify at-risk students and implement evidence-based instructional strategies and interventions. These remain active areas of investigation, with recent literature showing that cognitive, affective and demographic characteristics all contribute as risk factors. Here we report an …

The “Deliberative Digital Divide: Opinion Leadership and Integrative Complexity in the U.S. Political Blogosphere
This study examined the association between political ideology and linguistic indicators of integrative complexity and opinion leadership in U.S. political blog posts ( N = 519). Using L inguistic I nquiry and W ord C ount ( LIWC ) text analysis, we found that the posts of conservative bloggers were more integratively simple than those of liberal bloggers. Furthermore, in support of a proposed opinion leadership model of integrative complexity, t…
A Self-Categorization Explanation for Opinion Consensus Perceptions: Opinion Consensus Perceptions
The public expression of opinions (and related communicative activities) hinges upon the perception of opinion consensus. Current explanations for opinion consensus perceptions typically focus on egocentric and other biases, rather than functional cognitions. Using self-categorization theory we showed that opinion consensus perceptions flow from cognitions regarding the fit between issues and group prototypes. Strong normative fit enhanced percep…
Parasite primes make foreign-accented English sound more distant to people who are disgusted by pathogens (but not by sex or morality)
A Self-Categorization Explanation for the Hostile Media Effect
The hostile media effect is a phenomenon in which partisans on both sides of an issue perceive neutral media reports to be biased against their side. Three experiments were performed to test a self-categorization explanation. In Experiment 1, the effect was amplified when partisan identity was salient and attenuated when a shared identity was salient. In Experiment 2, the effect manifested when the media source was an outgroup, but not an ingroup…
Online courses and how they change the nature of class
This paper presents findings related to how the nature of class changes when asynchronous online courses are used rather than classrooms. The qualitative study involved interviews with 32 university professors who have taught both in-class and online courses. The findings provide insight into how when the medium of teaching changes, there is also significant change in the composition and indeed the very nature of class. Such change occurs as the …
Gender, Language, and Social Influence: A Test of Expectation States, Role Congruity, and Self-Categorization Theories
This study compares self-categorization, expectation states, and role congruity theories' explanations for female influence. Male and female participants (N = 267) listened to a recording of a female speaker who used either tentative or assertive language under conditions that led participants to categorize her as a woman or as college-educated. There was no evidence that women were differentially influenced by the speaker's linguistic style or b…

A Critical Test of Self-Enhancement, Exposure, and Self-Categorization Explanations for First- and Third-Person Perceptions
The third-person perception is the tendency for people to believe that others are more influenced by media content than themselves (W. P.Davison, 1983). The current study provides a critical test of self-enhancement, exposure, and self-categorization explanations for first- (i.e., self more influenced than others) and third-person perceptions. Male and female participants (N = 323) judged the extent to which pornography elicited "aroused and exci…
Social Identity, Self-Categorization, and the Communication of Group Norms
We articulate the role of norms within the social identity perspective as a basis for theorizing a number of manifestly communicative phenomena. We describe how group norms are cognitively represented as context-dependent prototypes that capture the distinctive properties of groups. The same process that governs the psychological salience of different prototypes, and thus generates group normative behavior, can be used to understand the formation…

Uncertainty Reduction, Self-Enhancement, and Ingroup Identification
Two experiments tested the prediction that uncertainty reduction and self-enhancement motivations have an interactive effect on ingroup identification. In Experiment 1 (N = 64), uncertainty and group status were manipulated, and the effect on ingroup identification was measured. As predicted, low-uncertainty participants identified more strongly with a high- than low-status group, whereas high-uncertainty participants showed no preference; and lo…
A Self-Categorization Explanation for the Third-Person Effect
Three studies tested a self-categorization theory explanation for the third-person effect. In Study 1 (N= 49) undergraduate students judged the influence of the National Enquirer, Wall Street Journal, and TV show Friends on themselves, relative to low- and high-status outgroup members, and other undergraduate students. The profile of first- and third-person perceptions was largely consistent with predictions, and the size of the third-person effe…

Leadership Endorsement: The Role of Distributive and Procedural Behavior in Interpersonal and Intergroup Contexts
Previous research (Platow, Hoar, Reid, Harley, & Morrison, 1997) showed that the difference in the strength of endorsements provided for a distributively fair over an unfair leader in interpersonal contexts attenuates when the unfairness is ingroup-favoring in intergroup contexts. We extended this to the realm of procedural fairness, and manipulated a leader's distributive fairness, procedural fairness, and the interpersonal versus intergroup con…

Role Identity in a Devalued Occupation: The Case of Female Exotic Dancers
Until the present study identity theory has not been employed in the study of socially deprecated roles. In an effort to fill this lacuna, this paper examines the degree to which occupants of the role of “exotic dancer” regard their identification with the role as salient and authentic and the extent to which these constructs are associated with perceived and actual role behavior. Hypotheses addressing these theoretical questions are examined wit…
Language, Gender Salience, and Social Influence
Reductionist explanations for gender differences in language use continue to occupy much research attention. However, such approaches cannot explain when or why people might change their gender-marked language use. This article reviews and critiques several of these approaches and tests an alternative from the perspective of self-categorization theory. Male-female dyads (N = 42) discussed a gender-neutral controversial issue under conditions of l…
Language, Power, and Intergroup Relations
Language is a communication medium for turning a power base into influence. But more than that, the creation of power and its maintenance or change can also occur in and through language. In the present article, we discuss some of the dynamic links between language and power to underscore their relevance to the study of intergroup relations. In particular we address the means by which low‐power groups might achieve power, and how those who are in…

Ageism Across the Lifespan: Towards a Self‐Categorization Model of Ageing
This article uses this collection of articles on ageism as a springboard to discuss empirical lacunae in the literature as well as propose a self‐categorization model of ageing phenomena. In particular, we argue that research would benefit from a more lifespan communication perspective. This includes the social origins of ageism that can be laid down early in development and perpetuated through collusive processes as individuals themselves age. F…

Endorsement of distributively fair and unfair leaders in interpersonal and intergroup situations
Differences in the strength of endorsement for distributively fair and unfair leaders in interpersonal and intergroup situations were measured. Fair leaders were expected to receive stronger endorsements than unfair leaders in interpersonal situations. This difference, however, was expected to attenuate, if not reverse in intergroup situations when the unfairness favoured the ingroup. An attenuation effect obtained in Experiment 1 (N=49) using ad…

Conversation as a resource for influence: Evidence for prototypical arguments and social identification processes
Members of eight single-sex groups each consisting of three pro- and three anti-capital punishment adherents discussed their views for 30 minutes, and afterwards individually rated ingroup and outgroup members on social influence ranking, prototypicality, and social attractiveness. From the intragroup hypothesis that speaking turns are a resource for influence (Ng & Bradac, 1993), we predicted and found that turns were correlated strongly with in…
The Integration of Information and Communication Technology Into Classroom Teaching
This study provides new images of teachers who are pioneers in the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in the classes they teach. This qualitative study looks at teachers in a high school that is a leader in using information technology in the classroom. The findings indicate that most of the teachers participating in this study were enthusiastic about the possibilities ICT holds for classroom use. Examples are given to illustra…

Aboriginal Self-Determination in Australia: The Effects of Minority-Majority Frames and Target Universalism on Majority Collective Guilt and Compensation Attitudes
In the context of Aboriginal-Anglo Australian relations, we tested the effect of framing (multiculturalism versus separatism) and majority group members' social values (universalism) on the persuasiveness of Aboriginal group rhetoric, majority collective guilt, attitudes toward compensation, and reparations for Aboriginals. As predicted, Anglo Australians who are low on universalism report more collective guilt when presented with a multicultural…
