There is little and unsystematic evidence about whether the content of stereotypes can vary within a culture. Using the Stereotype Content Model (SCM) as a theoretical framework, in two studies we examined the content of stereotypes in an Eastern European culture, namely Romania. Data were collected from four regions prototypical in terms of economic and social development in Romania, and we ex...

The role of sex stereotypes and gender roles in the sex differences observed in sport and exercise has been extensively investigated in sport psychology, past studies showing that stereotypes are internalized into the self during the socialization process. Although this research has provided clear evidence of the psychosocial roots of sex differences in athletics, focusing exclusively on an int...

In this paper, we provide evidence that suggests prominent gender stereotypes might not be as pronounced in human-robot interaction as may be expected based on previous research. We investigate stereotypes about people interacting with robots, such as men being more engaged, and stereotypes which may be applied to robots that have a perceived gender, such as female robots being perceived as mor...

We survey a collection of recent combinatorial and al-gorithmic results in the study of arrangements of low-degree algebraic surface patches in three or higher dimensions. The new results extend known results involving 2-dimensional arrangements, and they almost settle several conjectures posed eight years ago. Arrangements play a central role in the design and analysis of geometric algorithms,...

Age and race differences in race stereotype awareness and endorsement were examined in 382 Black and White fourth, sixth, and eighth graders. Youth reported their own beliefs and their perceptions of adults' beliefs about racial differences in ability in two domains: academics and sports. Children's own endorsement of race stereotypes was highly correlated with their perceptions of adults' race...

Stereotypes associating men and masculine traits with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields are ubiquitous, but the relative strength of these stereotypes varies considerably across cultures. The present research applies an intersectional approach to understanding ethnic variation in gender-STEM stereotypes and STEM participation within an American university context. ...

Machine learning algorithms are optimized to model statistical properties of the training data. If the input data reflects stereotypes and biases of the broader society, then the output of the learning algorithm also captures these stereotypes. In this paper, we initiate the study of gender stereotypes in word embedding, a popular framework to represent text data. As their use becomes increasin...

We produce a one-parameter family of hyperplane arrangements that are counterexamples to the conjecture of Saito that the complexified complement of a free arrangement is K(n, 1 ). These arrangements are the restriction of a one-parameter family of arrangements that arose in the study of tilings of certain centrally symmetric octagons. This other family is discussed as well. I. Definitions and ...
