EEG data, and specifically the ERP, provide psychologists with power to examine quickly occurring cognitive processes at native temporal resolution which they occur. Despite advantages conferred by ERPs different points in time, ERP researchers commonly ignore trial-to-trial dimension collapsing across trials of similar types (i.e., signal averaging approach) because constraints imposed repeated measures ANOVA. Here, we present using multilevel modeling (MLM) trial-level data investigate...

Background: Indigenous people experience the greatest cardiometabolic disease disparity in Unites States, yet high risk factors do not fully explain extent of for people. Stress, trauma, and racism occur at rates within communities have been well explored as significant contributors to disparities despite emerging literature, therefore will be described here. Methods: This descriptive study explores relationship between risks Indigenous-specific stressors (e.g., early childhood stress...

Abstract Reactive cognitive control refers to a complementary set of operations by which individuals monitor for and detect the presence goal‐interfering conflict (i.e., monitoring/evaluation) and, subsequently, initiate attention‐focusing response selection processes bolster goal‐directed action in face such (regulative control). The purpose current study was characterize nature adaptation both components this dynamic process across sequences trials more broadly, time as participants...

Abstract Prior research has supported some aspects of a theorized prejudice self-regulation model. We provide the first test full model-based process bias regulation as it unfolds in real time. Event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded from White undergraduates at two large American universities (N = 130; 40% female) during racial stereotype priming task. Attention to Black male face primes, indexed by P2 ERP, increased following failures. In turn, within-person, trial-to-trial...

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has had a disproportionately negative impact on communities of color across the U.S., including Mexican Americans. The present study examined influence pandemic family relationships among individuals living in U.S.-Mexico border region and how changes were related to both familism values mental health.Two hundred ninety-one college Latino students participated survey that asked about health since beginning pandemic.Contrary our initial hypothesis, majority...

Recently, a dynamic-interactive model of person construal (DI model) has been proposed, whereby the social categories represents are determined on basis an iterative integration bottom-up and top-down influences. The current study sought to test this by leveraging high temporal resolution event-related brain potentials (ERPs) as 65 participants viewed male faces that varied race (White vs Black), fixating either between eyes or forehead. Within face presentations, effect fixation, meant vary...

Considerable research has focused on how people derive information about others’ social category memberships from their faces. Theoretical models posit that early extraction of task-relevant a face should determine the efficiency with which is categorized, but evidence supporting this idea been elusive. Here, we used novel trial-level data analytic approach to examine relationship between two event-related potential components—the P2, indexing attention category-relevant information, and P3,...

Abstract People from racial/ethnic minority groups can experience discrimination in various ways, including both being the direct target of (directly experienced discrimination) and learning about others' experiences (vicariously discrimination). Additionally, frequency these may change over time as larger societal changes occur. In this retrospective self‐report study, we examined how Latinos' changed during beginning COVID‐19 pandemic, examining vicariously discrimination, real life...

We tested whether affiliating beer brands with universities enhances the incentive salience of those for underage drinkers. In Study 1, 128 undergraduates viewed cues while event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded. Results showed that paired in-group backgrounds (logos students’ universities) evoked an enhanced P3 ERP component, a neural index salience. This effect varied according to levels identification their university, and amplitude response prospectively predicted alcohol use over...

Weak correspondence across different implicit bias tasks may arise from the contribution of unique forms automatic and controlled processes to response behavior. Here, we examined between estimates processing derived two sequential priming with identical structure timing designed separately measure stereotypic (Weapons Identification Task; WIT) evaluative (Affective Priming APT) associations. Across studies using predominantly White samples, three consistent patterns emerged in data: (1) was...

Racial discrimination is conceptualized as an acute and chronic stressor. Like other stressors, lab-based studies demonstrate effects of discrimination-related stressors on stress-related cardiovascular outcomes, including total cardiac output, blood pressure, indices sympathetic parasympathetic nervous system activity. Critically, it important to understand how individual social factors buffer the experience race-related stress. The current study extends existing work by measuring stress...

Experiences of racial discrimination significantly contribute to both mental and physical health outcomes. In this mixed-methods study, we examine the immediate delayed effect experienced in daily life. Black students at a predominantly White university reported instances discrimination, affect, anxiety, depression several times per day over 4 weeks ( N = 114); was followed by qualitative focus groups 25). Reporting an instance corresponded with acute decline psychological wellbeing (higher...

Social interactions across domains--economic, political, and interpersonal—are influenced by rapid judgements about interaction partners that are assumed to contribute various behavioral biases. While often negligible in a given instance, such biases can accumulate persistent inequities between social groups. Here, we used event-related potentials (ERPs) determine the extent which early attention racial category information during simulated interpersonal contributes financial decisions....
