I'm excited to share that I’ll be reviewing PhD applications this cycle for students interested in working with me starting Summer/Fall 2026. I’m especially looking for applicants excited about research on trust/persuasion, responses to historical harm, addressing inequality, and/or mindsets.

Anyone looking to take an amazing clinical psych student who would come to grad school with an NSF GRFP in hand? Interests in stigma, adversity, but flexible! (Side note that it is awful that nsf doesn’t let you defer, apply next yr w/grant in hand, and just count that as 1 of 2 deferral yrs)

We also identify people who are committed to having nuanced understanding of issues, and show that they are quite different than these neutrality ideologues. We discuss implications for politically polarized attitudes, persuasion, intellectual humility, and our ability to address pressing issues

Laura Wallace @lauraewallace.bsky.social · 28/01/2025

New work led by Thomas Vaughn-Johnston: 'The Preference for Neutrality.' Extremity is often seen as problematic, but some issues—like climate change—suffer from excessive neutrality. We created a scale to identify people dogmatically committed to neutrality, like others pursue extremity.

In addition to research, I am passionate about mentoring and especially supporting mentees and colleagues from historically excluded groups. I’ve gotten to mentor some fabulous researchers through undergrad theses, and the SROP and Leadership Alliance summer programs.

How do perceptions of bias affect trust and persuasion? For example, my work finds that perceived bias can undermine trust and persuasion. However, perceived bias doesn’t always undermine persuasion – if biased sources switch positions, they can actually get a boost! psycnet.apa.org/record/2019-...

Shout out to co-first author @stephlreeves.bsky.social. Although we collaborated on this from the beginning, this started out as her dissertation work and she did a lot of the early heavy lifting on this project.

Laura Wallace @lauraewallace.bsky.social · 09/04/2024

This work suggests that organizations may want to be careful about the ways that they talk about their histories; looking forward to future work on how organizations might be able to talk about their histories without these negative consequences, perhaps by acknowledging & making amends for racism.

000

Laura Wallace @lauraewallace.bsky.social · 09/04/2024

Importantly, the negative effect of celebrating history vanishes when its clear that the organization has a history of having Black people in power, highlighting that this effect is specific to organizations that may have had a history of racism.

200

Laura Wallace @lauraewallace.bsky.social · 09/04/2024

This occurs for fictional orgs about which people could not possess knowledge and absent information about prior marginalization or racial makeup; the cultural context of historical racism leads history celebrations to be threatening absent content about that specific history.

100

Laura Wallace @lauraewallace.bsky.social · 09/04/2024

Many organizations have histories that marginalized Black Americans, a fact that Black Americans are particularly knowledgeable of. Therefore, when organizations celebrate their histories, it suggests that they are unaware of or condone this racist past.

100

Laura Wallace @lauraewallace.bsky.social · 09/04/2024

These kinds of organizational history celebrations are quite common. Although this might serve motives to feel good about the organization or highlight its prestige, our work demonstrates that this undermines belonging + interest in joining among Black Americans

100

Laura Wallace @lauraewallace.bsky.social · 09/04/2024

Imagine you encounter an organization celebrating it’s history in a relatively generic manner. “Our founder was amazing, we try to live up to the values he embodied when he built our company 75 years ago.” What inferences might you draw?

(or even just evidence that people expect others with biased views to perform better)

Laura Wallace @lauraewallace.bsky.social · 01/11/2023

Crowdsourcing literature - Are folks aware of papers showing that biases can enhance performance on certain tasks? Like if I self-enhance about my math abilities, I actually perform better on math tasks? Or if I have inflated views of my mentee or an issue, I am a better advocate for them/it?
