Acculturation and ethnic identity may be associated with Latino/as’ educational outcomes and be relevant to their lower levels of academic achievement. This article explores how these relationships might be mediated by considering several empirically supported and theory-based social psychological processes—the selffulfilling prophecy, stigma consciousness, and stereotype threat. These processe...

The autonoetic subscale of the Episodic Autobiographical Memory Interview (E...

In this paper, we present an account of phenomenal consciousness. Phenomenal consciousness is experience, and the problem of phenomenal consciousness is to explain how physical processes – behavioral, neural, computational – can produce experience. Numerous thinkers have argued that phenomenal consciousness cannot be explained in functional, neural or information processing terms (e. Different ...

These so-called near-death experiences (NDEs) often include a sense of separation from the physical body and encounters with religious figures and a mystical or divine presence. They share with mystical experiences a sense of cosmic unity or oneness, transcendence of time and ...

Within that literature, scholars have identified many reasons why cross-racial coalitions both succeed and fail. Among the factors most often cited is the issue of trust. Despite the recognition of the crucial role trust plays in cross-racial organizing,...
