Imagine a beer advertisement next to an article about drunk driving, or a coupon for a free dinner embedded in an article about food poisoning. While humans are quite good at seeing the error in these examples, the machine-learning algorithms that place advertisements online continue to struggle with this type of contextual nuance. We argue that this shortcoming stems from the manner in which these machines are taught about semantic relatedness—the conceptual distance between words in the human mind. Specifically, we hypothesize that there is a difference in how humans view semantic relatedness when context is present versus when it is absent and that this difference is missing from the data used by machines to place advertisements online. To test this hypothesis, we adapt existing best practices to create a new, context-aware database and then compare it to the current state of the art. We find substantial differences in the distribution of semantic relatedness scores for context-aware versus context-free databases. We also find that the nature and scope of these differences are likely to lead to the types of mistakes observed in practice.

"Descriptive Imagery: What Police Reports Teach Us about Perceptions of Race"

As we have learned from years of psychological research, the words we choose can sometimes reveal our underlying biases or influence our preexisting notions. It is fairly common in our society to see color terminology (e.g. “Black”, “White”) used to label races, and it has often been argued that employing color terms creates a duality that uses “White” and “Black” to frame prejudiced colloquialisms into “good” and “bad” categories. This research aims to investigate this bias by looking at the words that police use to describe people that they interact with in publicly accessible police reports. I then explore the societal impact that this wording has and theorize about the potential implications of the word choice.

"A Moral Judgement Comparison on Racial Passing: Villainy or Heroism?"

As human beings, we often make judgments on scenarios and situations instinctively, meaning that we may not necessarily be aware of the mechanisms of thought that lead us to sort actions into the socially “acceptable” versus “unacceptable” behavior groups. Racial passing – the act of representing yourself to be part of a racial group other than your own –  is one of the most heavily condemned acts in our society. Using two (2+) separate cases, this research explores the three-way relationship between the personal justification (that of the passer), the public justification (why others think they did it), and public reception (was it viewed as justified?). Using a variety of media archived news sources, I demonstrate what standards we use to methodically sort cases of racial passing into acts of “heroism” or “villainy”.

“Modern Media’s Documentation of Shifting Cultural Attitudes on ‘Racial Passing’ in the USA”

Over the last 60 years, perceptions and attitudes towards race have been quickly changing in the United States. In news today, stories of “racial passing” – when a person classified as a member of one racial group behaves as a member of a different racial group – have become more easily accessible. This research uses media evidence of passing as a social practice to examine the personal motivations of the “passer” as well as the shifting public attitudes towards them. I draw on well-known examples from modern news, such as the cases of Rachel Dolezal and Michael Derrick Hudson, in order to analyze their contexts and portrayals in modern media. In addition, this research investigates occurrences of passing that have accrued historical renown, like those of Dr. Albert Johnston and Harry S. Murphy, in order to identify key themes in the re-telling of stories of passing. In this way the project will trace the historical arc of the discourses of racial passing in public culture.  In combining these two elements, this research aims to give a comprehensive overview of the shift in cultural attitudes that surrounds racial passing in the United States.
Racial Passing & Media; Individual Research
This  work seeks to explore how moral judgments of racial passing are shaped by two ideological factors: social dominance orientation (SDO) and endorsement of colorblind ideology. When a person engages in racial passing (presents themselves as a race other than their own) they threaten both the hierarchical status quo--thereby upsetting people high in SDO who prefer strict social hierarchies--and drawing attention to race and racial inequality--thereby upsetting people high in colorblindness who believe society should ignore race. Subsequent experiments will both measure and manipulate these ideological factors, which are expected to shape the moral judgments of racial passers and their behavior. As such, this work provides a new framework for understanding the role of moral judgments in person perception, an incredibly important but historically understudied topic recently targeted for expansion in social cognition research.

"Introversion, Extroversion, and the Impact of Social Interaction on the 'Cognitive Battery'"

This research investigates and compares the cognitive threshold for exhaustion due to social interaction in both introverts and extroverts. We analyzed contributing factors to cognitive exhaustion in introverts through the investigation of differences [from extroverts] in factors such as socials skill, unease/distrust around others, energy output, and social. Overall, we were able to detect minor trends in data to indicate that there may be some differences in performance between introverts and extroverts on the cognitive exhaustion task. We can see only some inclinations of introverts towards exhaustion after social interaction, a slight trend in overall exhaustion in introverts, and little evidence of cognitive exhaustion a response to social interaction.

The act of play—especially constructive play with puzzles has been shown to lay a foundation for learning math concepts. In our study, 4 - 7 year olds play two different games involving manipulating shapes to help researchers understand more about spatial learning and creativity. Our main dependent measure was whether or not they utilized the tangram shapes in their play; failure to use the tangram shapes is taken as evidence for functional fixedness (a cognitive bias that limits a person to using an object only in the way it is traditionally used).
Functional Fixedness, Creativity, and Technology Usage in Children Research
The purpose of this research is to investigate the emotional antecedents of the phenomenon of competitive victimhood. Competitive Victimhood (CV), a relatively new concept in the field of experimental Social Psychology, occurs when members of conflicting groups try to establish that their group has suffered more than their adversarial group. In this research program we are interested in examining the emotions that may precede CV. Although there has been a fair amount of research into CV and possible ways to reduce it, to our knowledge, there has been no research done yet isolating its specific emotional antecedents.If we understand CV to be a way of dealing with a threat to the moral image of one’s in-group while involved in an intergroup conflict, then we could predict two distinct pathways to CV. Our study will only focus on the first pathway: concern over the group’s image (image pathway) would suggest that the emotional antecedents to CV might be anxiety (that the group will be impugned) or guilt and/or shame. The second pathway, perceived suffering within a hostile intergroup context (suffering pathway), would suggest that the emotional antecedents to CV might be anger at the adversarial group for harms incurred or pride in the in-group’s ability to endure suffering. But, as it would be difficult to argue that the intergroup relationship between men and women could be described as hostile our study will not look into these emotions.
