Congratulations to the team! And thank you to all who submitted, it was a fantastic selection of papers. My fave committee to serve on.
4/4
The committee was myself (Eric Hehman), @lorapark.bsky.social, @hansalves.bsky.social , and Sara Haga.
We particularly appreciated how this paper formalized different learning rates, separated stereotype prior knowledge from learning, and the repeated game design for the research question.
3/4
Paper generally concludes that stereotypes shape interactions with outgroup members, leading to prejudice. And maps how these stereotypes can propagate through society. It does so across 8 studies and a mix of experimentation and computational modeling.
