White participants completed a measure of Facebook use and then read one of three persuasive messages regarding race: an egalitarian message, a negative message with a superiority focus, or a negative message with a victim focus. Participants indicated their attitude toward the message and their Facebook-related behavioral intentions. Results showed that frequency of Facebook use related positively to message acceptance, particularly messages with overt racist content. Facebook users who were motivated by information seeking needs discriminated the most between messages, accepting an egalitarian message and rejecting messages with racist content.

This course revolved around a one-week trip to Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. This experience, paired with cultural readings on Native Americans, offers a framework for studying psychology. The course format, topics, assignments, and special considerations are discussed. Keywords Native Americans, cultural immersion, service learning Traditional academic courses involve an explicit-instruction approach to pedagogy in which instructors determine the course content and convey that information to students (Gray, 1993). More recently, instructors have also begun using an ‘‘immersion’ ’ method in which teachers create an engaging environment for intellectual exploration (Ennis, 1989). One example of this approach involves cultural immersion. Cultural immersion experiences provide a social setting that naturally includes oppo...

In the course of five studies, four aims were addressed. The first, a first step to why behaviors change, was to determine whether the behavioral subtypes of control, sex, and violence could differentiate offenses within the elements of a crime (e.g. the offender, victim, and situation. The second, a first step to when behaviors change, was to similarly determine whether the behavioral subtypes of control, sex, and violence could differentiate offenses within the temporal phases of a crime (e.g. before, during, and after the crime). The third aim was to determine which behaviors to use as the basis of the proposed three ways to examine behavioral consistency. Finally, the last was to use behavioral trajectories to explore patterns of (e.g. when) and possible explanations for (e.g. why) behavioral change. Multiple techniques of multidimensional scaling as well as behavioral trajectories were used. Results ...
