Abstract With artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly involved in the creation of organizational and commercial artifacts, human evaluators’ role as creativity gatekeepers AI-produced artifacts will become critical for innovation processes. However, when humans evaluate creativity, their judgment is clouded by biases triggered characteristics creator. Drawing from folk psychology algorithm aversion research, we examine whether identity producer a given artifact or source bias affecting...
Three studies support the proposal that need for closure (NFC) involves a desire consensual validation leads to cultural conformity. Individual differences in NFC interact with group variables determine East Asian versus Western conflict style and procedural preferences (Study 1), information gathering disputes 2), fairness judgment reward allocations 3). Results from experimental tests indicate relevance of conformity reflects consensus motives rather than effort minimization 2) or...
People may hold different understandings of race that might affect how they respond to the culture groups deemed be racially distinct. The present research tests this process is moderated by minority individual's lay theory race. An essentialist (i.e., reflects deep-seated, inalterable essence and indicative traits ability) would orient racial minorities rigidly adhere their ethnic culture, whereas a social constructionist socially constructed, malleable, arbitrary) identify cognitively...
In 6 studies, we systematically explored for the 1st time ameliorative effects of multicultural experience on intergroup bias and investigated role epistemic unfreezing as motivational mechanism underlying these effects. We found that exposure led to a reduction in stereotype endorsement (Studies 1, 4, 6), symbolic racism (Study 5), discriminatory hiring decisions 2). further demonstrated experimental caused need cognitive closure (NFCC; Studies 3 6) multiculturalism were fully mediated by...
Unethical behavior in organizations has attracted much attention among researchers, yet we know little about when and why unethical conducted by leaders that is intended to benefit the organization—or leader pro-organizational (UPB)—might translate into employee behavior. Drawing on a social-learning-of-principle perspective, which proposes people can learn principles govern observed behaviors, propose employees, especially those with high power distance orientation, abstract moral...
Racial classification has drawn increasing attention in public discourse; it intertwines with issues related to racialized perceptions. However, few social psychological studies have systematically examined racial categorization processes and their implications for interracial relations. In 5 studies, we investigated the role of essentialism influencing several important aspects categorization. Results linked belief an increased tendency engage race-based (Studies 1-3) greater sensitivity...
Although international experience has been proposed as an important factor contributing to the development of cultural intelligence (CQ), its effect on CQ often assumed. Through a contact hypothesis framework, this study advances our understanding CQ. It examines process through which changes occur against backdrop exchanges. University students who were enrolled in exchange program with partners worldwide participated study. Using 3‐wave time‐lagged design, we found that implicit culture...
It is a widely held belief that racial groups have underlying essences. We hypothesized bicultural individuals who hold this essentialist about race are oriented to perceive rigid interracial boundaries and experience difficulty passing between their ethnic culture the host culture. As predicted, we found more strongly Chinese American participants endorsed an race, less effective they were in switching rapidly cultural frames reaction time task (Study 1), greater emotional reactivity...
Asian Americans are often perceived as a ‘model minority’– an ethnic minority that high achieving, hardworking, self‐reliant, law‐abiding, well having few social and mental health problems. Although the impact of model image on US government's redistributive policies is widely contested topic in public discourses, there has been little research association between image, people's worldviews, attitudes towards policies. In experiment measured American participants' worldviews manipulated...
Individuals who believe that racial groups have fixed underlying essences use stereotypes more than do individuals categories are arbitrary and malleable social-political constructions. Would this essentialist mind-set also lead to less creativity? We suggest the functional utility derived from essentialism induces a habitual closed-mindedness transcends social domain hampers creativity. Across studies, using both individual difference measures (in pilot test) experimental manipulations...
Folk theory of social change (FTSC) is a generic knowledge structure that frames societal perceptions. According to FTSC, society develops from traditional community where people are trustworthy though unsophisticated more sophisticated, but less warm‐hearted modern society. People make future forecast about within this while flexibly incorporating particular information the past history and present trend. We report evidence for proposition globalization provides incorporate in forming their...
The current study draws on the motivational model of achievement which has been guiding research growth mindset intervention (Dweck & Leggett, 1988) and examines how this interacts with incentive systems to differentially influence performance for high- low-achieving students in Indian schools that serve low-SES communities. Although, as expected, did interact prior subsequent academic performance, existing framework cannot fully account observed effects. Specifically, we found facilitate...
Need for closure (NFC) refers to the need firm answers reduce uncertainty. We propose that because cultural norms are providers, when rendering social judgments, individuals with higher NFC would be more likely conform dominant norms. Furthermore, ingroup identification increases perceived contrast between and outgroup cultures enhances consensual validity of within a country, high identifiers adhere their native norm managing situations in own country; however, they rely on foreign country...
Despite the disparities of life experiences among Asian Americans, model minority stereotype continues to propagate in United States. Taking a shared reality theory perspective, we demonstrate that image being diligent, high achieving, and submissive is characteristic representation Americans widely (Study 1). In addition, assume most people States expect conform 2). Taken together, these results suggest Furthermore, from an experimental study 3) confirms media exposure Asian-American...
What values do parents want to transmit children? The intersubjective model of value transmission posits that not only the they personally endorse but also perceive be normatively important in society. present research shows support this premise. Furthermore, Studies 1 and 2 revealed use perceived norms is moderated by families’ social contexts parents’ personality: It was particularly pronounced among who were immigrants, had a stronger need for closure, more conforming. In addition, 3 4...

Cultural appropriation is a critique of cultural borrowing or outgroup use, typically when more powerful group adopts elements from less group. Accusations have been fiercely debated in recent years, which raise questions about appropriate versus appropriative adoption another group’s culture. We propose that these different evaluations hinge part on diversity ideologies. In four studies U.S. participants (total N = 1549), we examined the differing effects three ideologies (colorblindness,...
