Document Summary
Lecture 9: caps (feb. 6: result for intra-individual, situation-behavior profiles for verbal aggression, result in a situation ( if peer teases ) Plan: back to lecture 8: reducing the racial achievement gap (cohen et al. , 2003, replication issues, sources of variability of the results, contradiction between two theories: example of the self-completion. Cognitive-affective system theory of personality: walter mischel, individual differences in conditional probability across situations, caps (mischel, shoda and wright, 1994, cognitive affective mediating units (mischel, 1973) Conclusion: the search for personal consistency: back to lecture 8: reducing the racial achievement gap (cohen et al. , The study shows that a brief self-affirmation exercise at the beginning of the fall term can influence african american gpa at the end of the term. There was a replication by cohen et al: In similar schools (in term of ethnic diversity) With different sorts of stereotypes threats (e. g. , women in college physics)
