Serving as your bridging mentor means that I strongly prioritize effective communication, empathy, emotional intelligence, active listening, accountability, building trust, and systematic thinking as the foundation of our mentor-mentee relationship. While these are all themes that I desire to achieve in our relationship, I recognize that every mentoring relationship is unique, and I value that individuality. Particularly, it is important to me that my mentee displays an eagerness to learn, grow, and refine their talents, while I commit to being adaptable and responsive to their distinct experiences, perspectives, and personal goals. Ultimately, it is my personal goal to build a purposeful connection between my mentee and I that will go far beyond our time spent working together. Beyond the time we spend working together, I hope the lessons, encouragement, and trust we build will continue to serve you as you move into new stages of life.

How were they behaving? Did you recognize the individual characteristics that made up the group or consider their similarities and differences from yourself? According to research, we as perceivers form first impressions of groups based on many of the observations listed above. This project aims to explore first impressions of groups, particularly we aim to examine the role that group characteristics play in formation of spontaneous trait inferences (STIs). STIs are the trait implications that we spontaneously and unintentionally make while observing others' behaviors, and these trait inferences tend to be strongly related to the initial impressions that we form and maintain about others. Our research project will address spontaneous trait inferences of groups (STIGs) by assessing participants' perception of groups as a single, cohesive entity when the racial categories and group membership characteristics of the target groups are present. Participation in this project will enhance your knowledge of perceiving others, how stereotypes form, and entitativity in social psychology, which refers to the degree to which a group of individuals are perceived as a collective whole. If you are interested in identifying and learning psychological concepts that relate to forming impressions about others, this is the perfect project for you!
