ABOUT JENNIFER'S WORK
Jennifer Richeson is a social psychologist who examines the behavioral and cognitive consequences of prejudice and racial stereotyping to reveal original insights into the dynamics of interracial interaction. Using a broad range of empirical methods, including fMRI measures, survey techniques, implicit cognitive processing measures, and self-report measures, Richeson analyzes the experiences of members of both minority and majority groups in their interactions with one another. A key finding of her work is that such interactions require heightened self-control to combat expressions of prejudice, calling on increased cognitive effort and resulting in decreased effectiveness on other cognitive tasks. Her work provides a novel way of examining and calculating the “costs” associated with intergroup interactions. In related research, Richeson addresses factors preventing individuals from engaging in interracial interactions, finding evidence that systematic mutual misperceptions – “pluralistic ignorance” – create unnecessary psychological barriers. In other investigations, she explores motivational and contextual variables that influence how racial cues are used in categorizing other people. Bringing new life to the topic of intergroup relations, Richeson takes the lead in highlighting and analyzing major challenges facing all races in America and the continuing role played by prejudice and stereotyping in our lives.

关于詹妮弗的工作
珍妮弗-里奇森是一位社会心理学家，她研究了偏见和种族成见的行为和认知后果，揭示了对种族间互动动态的原创性见解。利用广泛的经验方法，包括fMRI措施、调查技术、隐性认知处理措施和自我报告措施，Richeson分析了少数群体和多数群体成员在彼此互动中的经验。她工作的一个关键发现是，这种互动需要高度的自我控制来对抗偏见的表达，需要增加认知努力，并导致其他认知任务的效率下降。她的工作为研究和计算与群体间互动相关的 "成本 "提供了一种新方法。在相关研究中，Richeson探讨了阻碍个人参与种族间互动的因素，发现有证据表明系统性的相互误解--"多元无知"--造成了不必要的心理障碍。在其他调查中，她探讨了影响种族线索如何被用于归类他人的动机和背景变量。为群体间关系的话题带来了新的活力，里奇森率先强调并分析了美国所有种族面临的主要挑战，以及偏见和陈规定型观念在我们生活中发挥的持续作用。
