To investigate how quantify subjectivity, scale its impact, we measure assessments differ among annotators across different use cases. Simulating effects ordinarily latent elements contrive set motivations (t-shirt graphics, presentation visuals, phone background...
Linguistic bias is the differential use of linguistic abstraction (as defined by Category Model) to describe same behaviour for members different groups. Essentially, it tendency concrete language belief-inconsistent behaviours and abstract belief-consistent behaviours. Having found that produced without intention or awareness in many contexts, researchers argue reflects, reinforces, transmits pre-existing beliefs, thus playing a role belief maintenance. Based on Model, this assumes...
Intergroup communication is at the core of intergroup relations. Studies demonstrate that threat and having an opportunity to derogate outgroup result in heightened cortisol levels. However, biomarkers associated with different stress systems may show distinct patterns under same conditions. We investigated whether perceptions would increase alpha-amylase White Canadian university students (N = 77) read discriminatory or favorable comments Chinese individuals made towards Canadians....
