  • My Skin – a self-questionnaire for assessment of the emotional-Cognitive Representation of skin
    Health Psychology Report, 2016
    Co-Authors: Marlena M. Kossakowska, Czanita Cieścińska
    Abstract:

    background The aims of this paper are: 1) to present the My Skin questionnaire, 2) to report the preliminary results of a study on the emotional-Cognitive skin Representation, and 3) to encourage dermatologists and other specialists to use the My Skin questionnaire in their research. The inspiration for a new tool measuring the emotional and Cognitive Representation of skin was the psychological conception of the ‘skin ego’.

    Abstract:

    Background The aims of this paper are: 1) to present the My Skin questionnaire, 2) to report the preliminary results of a study on the emotional-Cognitive skin Representation, and 3) to encourage dermatologists and other specialists to use the My Skin questionnaire in their research. The inspiration for a new tool measuring the emotional and Cognitive Representation of skin was the psychological conception of the ‘skin ego’. Participants and procedure My Skin, a self-questionnaire (MSQ), was used to measure the emotional and Cognitive Representation of an individual’s skin. It consists of two main scales: satisfaction with the skin condition (AB) and awareness of the biopsychosocial functions of the skin (C). The Body Esteem Scale, Body Self Questionnaire and Self-Esteem Scale were used to validate the MSQ. The participants were: healthy individuals (n = 343) and dermatology patients (psoriasis, vitiligo, juvenile acne, n = 84). Results The psychometric parameters are presented in this article. The internal consistency reliabilities for subscales are in the range of .75 and .95. This article also presents preliminary basic statistics for the skin Representation of dermatology patients and healthy people. Conclusions My Skin questionnaire is a valid tool for assessing Cognitive and emotional Representation of skin and may be used in psychodermatology and esthetic dermatology to assess satisfaction with and awareness of skin

  • Ethnophaulisms and Exclusion: The Behavioral Consequences of Cognitive Representation of Ethnic Immigrant Groups:
    Personality & social psychology bulletin, 2003
    Co-Authors: Brian Mullen, Diana R. Rice
    Abstract:

    Ethnophaulisms are the words used as slurs to refer to ethnic immigrant outgroups. This article explores the effects of these Cognitive Representations of ethnic immigrant groups on exclusion behavior directed toward these immigrant groups. Using archival data spanning a 150-year period of American history, the results of these analyses provide a sobering picture of the effects of the Cognitive Representation of immigrants: a century and a half of thinking about ethnic immigrant groups in a simplistic and negative manner and a corresponding tendency to exclude those immigrant groups from the receiving society. The implications of these results for theoretical approaches to intergroup relations are considered.

  • Altering intergroup perceptions by altering prevailing mode of Cognitive Representation: "they look like people".
    Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2002
    Co-Authors: Brian Mullen, Carmen Pizzuto, Rob Foels
    Abstract:

    : This article reports the results of 3 studies that attempted to alter the mode of Cognitive Representation by training with nonsocial targets and then examined subsequent intergroup perception. In each study, participants examined an array of drinking glasses while receiving training in exemplar or prototype Cognitive Representation. Participants then responded to written trait descriptions of people (Experiment 1), photographs of the faces of members of European ethnic groups (Experiment 2), and full-body photographs of indigenous people (Experiment 3). Compared with prototype training, exemplar training with the nonsocial targets resulted in more complex Cognitive Representations of the social targets and written descriptions of the social targets that were more individuated. Discussion considers the implications of these results for the study of intergroup perception.

  • Ethnophaulisms for Ethnic Immigrant Groups: Cognitive Representation of `the Minority' and `the Foreigner':
    Group Processes & Intergroup Relations, 2000
    Co-Authors: Brian Mullen, Drew Rozell, Craig Johnson
    Abstract:

    An archival analysis was conducted on the ethnophaulisms for ethnic immigrant groups as a function of the size and the `foreignness' of those groups. Cognitive Representation was operationalized as...

  • Cognitive Representation in Ethnophaulisms and Illusory Correlation in Stereotyping
    Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 1995
    Co-Authors: Brian Mullen, Craig Johnson
    Abstract:

    Previous research has examined complexity in ethnophaulisms as an indicator of Cognitive Representations of minority ethnic groups. Smaller groups have been demonstrated to evoke greater prototype Representations, as evidenced in less complexity in the ethnophaulisms ascribed to these smaller groups. The present research extends this approach to the study of developing stereotypes for novel ethnic groups in the distinctiveness-based illusory correlation paradigm. Results of three studies confirm that in the absence of any preconceived Cognitive Representations of, or evaluative responses toward, these novel groups, the more salient group is subject to greater prototype Representation. In addition, this greater prototype Representation for the more salient group predicts the distinctiveness-based illusory correlation effect and thereby predicts differential evaluations toward the ethnic groups. The implications of these results for the study of the distinctiveness-based illusory correlation paradigm in par...

  • Relative Group Size and Cognitive Representations of Ingroup and Outgroup The Phenomenology of Being in a Group
    Small Group Research, 1994
    Co-Authors: Brian Mullen, Craig Johnson, Tara Anthony
    Abstract:

    Two studies examined Cognitive Representations of ingroups and outgroups of varying relative group size. These Cognitive Representations were examined in the context of the category verification paradigm, wherein subjects have to decide the category membership for prototypic and nonprototypic exemplars of (ingroup and outgroup) social categories. The results of both studies confirm the prediction that the smaller group is subject to greater prototype Cognitive Representation, whereas the larger group is subject to greater exemplar Cognitive Representation. Discussion considers the implications of these results for some paradoxes of intergroup behavior, andfor stereotyping in general.

  • Cognitive Representation in Ethnophaulisms as a Function of Group Size: The Phenomenology of Being in a Group
    Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 1993
    Co-Authors: Brian Mullen, Craig Johnson
    Abstract:

    Two studies examined Cognitive Representation for minority groups of varying sizes. Cognitive Representation was operationalized as the degree of complexity in the ethnophaulisms, or ethnic slurs, for these minority groups. The results of these studies confirm the prediction that prototype Cognitive Representations will be more prevalent for smaller groups. The relation between group size and Cognitive Representation could not be dismissed as an artifact of a more fundamental association between prejudice and Cognitive Representation. Moreover, this basic effect did not seem to vary as a function of the region of origin of these ethnic groups or membership in the groups. The Discussion section considers the implications of these results for the study of stereotyping.

  • The role of social relationships and culture in the Cognitive Representation of emotions.
    Cognition & emotion, 2013
    Co-Authors: Sharon Koh, Christie Napa Scollon, Derrick Wirtz
    Abstract:

    There are individual and cultural differences in how memories of our emotions are Cognitively represented. This article examines the Cognitive Representation of emotions in different cultures, as a result of emotional (in)consistency in different cultures. Using a continuous semantic priming task, we showed in two studies that individuals who were less emotionally consistent across relationships have stronger associations of their emotions within those relationships. Further, we found (in Study 2) that in a culture characterised by higher levels of emotional inconsistency across relationships (Singapore), stronger associations between emotions within relationships were found than in a culture characterised by emotional consistency (USA). This cultural difference in Cognitive Representation was fully mediated by individual differences in cross-situational consistency levels.
