Please join us for the first lecture in a series featuring diverse researchers who will network with WSU faculty and support WSU’s grand research initiatives, 3:30-5 p.m. Friday, April 8, in Todd Auditorium 116 at Washington State University.
Dr. Karl Aquino will present “We See What We Believe: How Ideology Influences Social Judgment,” a public talk on how individuals’ elitist or egalitarian beliefs can affect their behavior and social judgement. He finds that preferences affect a variety of social judgments, including the fairness of affirmative action-based hiring, academic credibility, interpretation of a cross-sex workplace conflict and willingness to hire minority vs. non-minority job candidates. Aquino is the Richard Poon Professor of Organizations and Society in the marketing and behavioral sciences division at the Sauder School of Business.
