Title: An early emerging group-bias in the construal of others
Date: Wednesday, 13 March 2019
Time: 17:00-18:30
Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 st. 7, room 10
Abstract:
Human history has been plagued by violent inter-group conflicts. Such conflicts are
commonly associated with attitudinal group biases – particularly, a tendency to favor
“ingroups” over “outgroups” – manifest in adults and children. In this talk, I will
present evidence on an early emerging conceptual group bias that arguably gives rise to
such discriminatory attitudes. In particular, I will present developmental studies showing
that whereas ingroup members tend to be construed as individuals, outgroup members are
construed as category exemplars. I will further argue that this conceptual bias does not
derive exclusively from cognitive-perceptual processes, but moreover from motivational
ones.
We are looking forward to see you.
