My first coffee hour for my intro to social class was a big success! This is honestly one of the best things I have added to my teaching here at Duke, way less pressure for students to come hang out and ask questions about life or anything!

New from @jackiemchen.bsky.social @chanelkmeyers.bsky.social @sarahegaither.bsky.social et al (confession: this kind of research drew me to becoming a social psychologist & studying prejudice, even though I've not done this type of work!) journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1... #PrejudiceResearch

Another paper to end 2024! Here we show that kids use mutual intentions frameworks (I want to join a group, and that group wants me to join) for gender and race group membership! BUT this is earlier (age 3) for gender and later (age 5) for race #psychology onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New paper out from our NSF Collaborative grant testing the widely used minimal group paradigm across multiple racial groups in the US! Overall, minimal group effects hold, but exploratory analyses show stronger effects with older kids and White kids. #psychology www.sciencedirect.com/science/auth...
