How do the emotions people experience in everyday life reflect and bring about changes in their personality traits and self-views? In this talk, I will share research that uses multiple methods and analytic techniques to examine how people experience social and self-evaluative emotions, and how their self-views change during important transitional periods. I will discuss the Karakter project, a 13-month mixed methods study of emotions and personality change in Syrian origin young adults who have resettled in the Netherlands. I will close by describing a planned longitudinal study that will examine how BIPOC Canadian emerging adults’ experiences with social structures co-occur with personality development and adjustment over the course of university. By focusing on the emotional aspects of personality processes in diverse samples of people, the goal of my approach is to better understand why and how people’s personalities and self-views change over time.

Networks are landmarks of many complex phenomena where interweaving interactions between different agents transform simple local rule-sets into nonlinear emergent behaviors. While some recent studies unveil associations between the network structure and the underlying dynamical process, identifying stochastic nonlinear dynamical processes continues to be an outstanding problem. In this talk, we discuss a simple data-driven framework based on operator-theoretic techniques to identify and control stochastic nonlinear dynamics taking place over large-scale networks. The proposed approach requires no prior knowledge of the network structure and identifies the underlying dynamics solely using a collection of two-step snapshots of the states. This data-driven system identification is achieved by using the Koopman operator to find a low dimensional representation of the dynamical patterns that evolve linearly. Further, we use the global linear Koopman model to solve critical control problems by applying to model predictive control (MPC)--typically, a challenging proposition when applied to large networks. We show that our proposed approach tackles this by converting the original nonlinear programming into a more tractable optimization problem that is both convex and with far fewer variables.

Despite America’s checkered racial history, people generally believe the nation has made steady, incremental progress toward achieving racial equality. In this paper, we investigate whether this American racial progress narrative will extend to how the workforce views the effectiveness of organizational efforts surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Across four studies (N = 2,057), we test whether American workers overestimate organizational racial progress across the domains of benefits, compensation, and executive representation and believe that progress will naturally unfold over time (Studies 1-4). We also examine whether these misperceptions surrounding organizational progress drive misunderstandings regarding the relative ineffectiveness of common organizational diversity policies (Studies 2-4). Overall, we find evidence that American workers largely overestimate organizational racial progress, believe that organizational progress will naturally improve over time, and that these misperceptions of organizational racial progress may drive beliefs in the effectiveness of symbolic DEI policies.

The intersection of race and gender shapes inequality across all sectors of society. As just a few examples—Black men are disproportionately stopped by police; Black women and Asian men are rendered culturally invisible; and White men disproportionately occupy positions of status and power. Yet, little is known about how and when race and gender become psychologically intertwined in our social prototypes, and when these prototypes begin to manifest in the formation of stereotypes. In this talk, I will present three studies (N=551) investigating when and how race begins to bias children’s representations of gender over early childhood, and how both race and gender interact to bias children’s representations of broader social categories (e.g., “people”). I will also discuss the importance of including research with children for advancing our understanding of social-cognitive processes.
