Investigating Cortisol in a STEM Classroom
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education can be stressful, but uncertainty exists about (a) whether stressful academic settings elevate cortisol, particularly among students from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups, and (b) whether cortisol responses are associated with academic performance. In four classes around the first exam in a gateway college STEM course, we investigated participants’ ( N = 271) cortisol levels …
They don’t understand us
Feeling personally understood as an individual within interpersonal contexts is linked to greater psychological well-being, but are interpersonal situations the only contexts in which people desire to feel understood by others? We theorize that individuals also experience greater psychological well-being when they feel that their social group and their group’s identity is understood by people outside their group. Furthermore, we examined whether …
Lower SES PhD students experience interpersonal disconnection from others both inside and outside of academia
Students from lower socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds can experience stigma in undergraduate educational settings but little research on this topic has been conducted at the PhD level. Lower‐SES PhD students may feel lower levels of social integration as they experience incidents of interpersonal disconnection from others inside and outside of academia. Interpersonal disconnection may be a mechanism by which lower‐SES leads to a lower sense …
Exposure to anti-Black Lives Matter movement and obesity of the Black population
When a lack of passion intertwines with thought and action
Researchers might assume that neutrality does not shape thought and action because it signals that nothing in the environment needs attention, hence a person has little need to alter their behavior. However, feeling neutral about an issue might be consequential. The COVID-19 pandemic was a major issue during the 2020 U.S. presidential election. We examined whether feeling neutral about COVID-19 was associated with attitudes about the top 2 presid…
Determining our destiny
Groups experience collective autonomy restriction whenever they perceive that other groups attempt to limit the freedom of their group to determine and express its own identity. We argue that collective autonomy restriction motivates groups (both structurally advantaged and disadvantaged) to improve their power position within the social hierarchy. Four studies spanning real-world (Studies 1 and 2) and lab-based (Studies 3 and 4) intergroup conte…
