“…Incongruent exemplars were perceived in the present studies as less typical than congruent or supercongruent exemplars, but the data does not support the idea of a mediation by perceived typicality (see 10.2). Consistent with previous research, Study 5 showed a tendency that incongruent exemplars lead to a less homogenous picture of the group (Garcia-Marques & Mackie, 1999;Paolini et al, 2004). The lack of impact of incongruent information on the stereotype obtained ion the present studies is inconsistent with the inclusion/exclusion model (Schwarz & Bless, 1992;, which regards assimilation as the default process when dealing with exemplar information.…”

“…A rather heterogeneous group of researchers (some allude to prototype models, others to exemplar models) assumes that the variability components of stereotypes do change, whereas other aspects remain stable (e.g., Garcia-Marques & Mackie, 1999;Hamburger, 1994;Paolini, Hewstone, Rubin, & Pay, 2004). The topic of stereotype change will be covered in more detail in chapter 4.…”

“…I will thereby concentrate on the effects on central tendency judgments of a category. However, a growing number of researchers suggests that it is further necessary to consider perceived variability as an outcome variable (e.g., Garcia-Marques & Mackie, 1999;Hamburger, 1994;cf. chapter 8).…”

In 4 studies the authors compared the effect of exemplars that deviate from the prototype in one or the other direction while controlling for the absolute amount of deviance. Incongruent exemplars typically do not change a stereotype. Yet, it is unclear whether this is also the case with exemplars that are more extreme than the stereotype, named supercongruent hereafter. Within Study 1 the authors showed that supercongruent exemplars can be differentiated from congruent exemplars and that they are perceived as more typical than incongruent exemplars. Study 2 demonstrated that supercongruent exemplars increase the perceived differences between groups, while incongruent exemplars do not lead to a decrease. In Study 3, a supercongruent exemplar was generalized to the stereotype, while an incongruent exemplar did not affect the stereotype. Study 4 replicated this finding and excluded the alternative hypothesis that this effect is due to the greater extremity and thus diagnosticity of supercongruent information.

Dynamics and dilemmas in social psychology: Social relations, identities and cognition

This paper aims to provide a systematised overview of the paradigmatic orientations in social psychology in Portugal by identifying the most cited publications. Results show that the eight most cited thematic are: (1) deviance and reactions to deviance, (2) methodology, (3) prejudice and discrimination, (4) gender studies, (5) risk, environment and safety, (6) information processing, social judgment, familiarity and mood, (7) social representations and (8) social justice and belief in a just world. These eight most salient thematics can be sorted into three current paradigmatic orientations in contemporary social psychology: (a) social cognition; (b) the study of collective beliefs, ideologies and social representations; and (c) the study of identity and its impact on intra- and intergroup processes. The paper finishes with a reflection on the future developments of the discipline and the dilemmas that social psychology in Portugal could face.

“…After encountering instances with unexpected properties can we conclude that the typical properties (e.g., average value) of a category (e.g., stocks) have changed? It seems evident that in order to remain useful, knowledge and beliefs about category properties need to reflect changes in underlying category structure (Garcia-Marques & Mackie, 1999). The challenge for a perceiver is to determine when meaningful change has actually occurred and to be able to differentiate this from the case when exemplar deviation simply arises from natural variability around the category central tendency.…”

Proceedings of the 9th Conference of the Australasian Society for Cognitive Science

. Submissions to the conference were reviewed by the Program Committee, who came up with an excellent program of 106 presented papers (in three parallel-track sessions, and including eight submitted symposia) and 20 posters (on show throughout the conference, but highlighted in an enjoyable poster session over drinks on day 2). The full program, along with other information about the conference, remains online at http://www.maccs.mq.edu.au/ascs09. The Australasian Society for Cognitive Science has had an intermittent formal existence, driven mainly by the organization of its string of enjoyable, successful, and highly sociable conferences, which have taken place roughly every two years since the inaugural conference, organized by Peter Slezak, at the University of New South Wales in 1990 (a full list of past conferences is appended below).At the 9 th conference at Macquarie, 163 people attended, including substantial numbers from overseas and interstate, enjoying both the sweet Sydney spring weather and three stimulating days of talks and talk. There was no specific theme, but in addition to specialist research papers within specific sub/disciplines, we encouraged integrative papers which forge connections between sub/disciplines. This integrative ideal also informed invitations to our five excellent keynote speakers: Stephen Crain (Macquarie Centre for Cognitive Science), Jakob Hohwy (Philosophy, Monash University), Jason Mattingley (Psychology & Queensland Brain Institute, University of Queensland), Thomas Metzinger (Philosophy, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität, Mainz; & Institute for Advanced Study, Berlin, Germany, and Barbara Tversky (Psychology, Stanford University; & Columbia University, USA). Versions of three of these keynote talks appear in these proceedings: the papers by Jason Mattingley and Thomas Metzinger have been published elsewhere.Perhaps because the cognitive science community in Australasia is relatively small, compared at least with our counterparts in Asia, Europe, and North America, it retains a thoroughly multidisciplinary atmosphere. The programme confirmed the striking pluralism of the contemporary cognitive sciences, drawing on many distinctive disciplines as researchers on cognition are looking both down into the brain and out into the environment. Most contributions were from psychologists, with sizable numbers from philosophy and linguistics: but many other areas were also represented, including computational neuroscience, neuropsychiatry, clinical psychology, computer science, human-computer interaction, anthropology, education, history and philosophy of science, cognitive archaeology, cognitive ethology, English literature, and cultural history.All those who had presented papers and posters were invited to submit revised versions, following the conference, as full contributions to the published Proceedings. All submissions were reviewed afresh, and revisions were submitted in early 2010: we are delighted to thank our team of reviewers for their hard and effective work.Fifty-seven p...
