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.
