<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The goal of this research is to explore the impact of economic stress and inequality on cognitive control and intergroup bias, extending beyond individual analysis to regional levels.
By aggregating US-based participants' responses on the Race Implicit Association Test, the study found that cognitive control was lower in states with higher poverty rates among Black populations. Additionally, intergroup biases were stronger in states with
high poverty rates and income inequality. Together, this work highlights the need for policies to support economically vulnerable populations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Kayla, a 3rd year Ph.D. student in the Social/Personality Psychology area, focuses her research on understanding the mechanisms of prejudice and bias at both the individual level and the regional level. Her
work at the individual level focuses on the cognitive processes that contribute to bias, and scaling this up, Kayla is trying to understand
<i>how</i> psychological processes meaningfully vary at the regional level, and <i>
why</i>. To answer these questions, she is interested in factors such as inequality, historical ties, policy, and selective migration.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
