We will examine how individual difference in intellectual humility affects people's assessment and perception of racial issues. Intellectual humility refers to people's awareness of the limitations of their knowledge. When people are aware of what they know and don't know, they are more willing to pay attention to views that don't align with their own and revise those views when presented with compelling evidence. We want to understand how this mindset influences:
1)Awareness and assessment of complex race-related topics (such as white privilege, affirmative action, racial inequality, etc.)
2)Willingness to seek additional information and update (false) beliefs
3)Inclination to respect differences and show other-focused justice concerns (i.e., sensitivity to injustices that others face)
1)Data Collection, 2) Coding of participants’ responses, and 3) Assistance with literature review and data analysis.
Recommended: Basic statistical knowledge (If you have taken the Research Methods course, that will be considered a bonus, but it is NOT required). Soft skills, such as punctuality, good time management, conscientiousness, writing, and speaking fluency are extremely important.
As a mentor, I strive to foster a culture of mutual respect and trust, collegiality, inclusivity, and flexibility. I believe that hierarchical relationships might provide short-term gains in terms of compliance and "getting the job done", but it is detrimental in encouraging interest and internal motivation. So, it's important to me to treat you as a colleague, whose ideas and suggestions are valued. Based on your skills and interests (and future career plans), I will be flexible with the responsibility I give you so that you can make the most of your UROP experience.
