Research Profile
Alexandra Corning is interested in the processes involved in individuals' judgments of whether discrimination has or has not just taken place. She and her students have found that not only can certain personality traits influence how an observer perceives the ambiguous behavior of others, but simple situational factors like background noise cause people to jump to certain predictable conclusions about whether others’ ambiguous behavior is perceived as discriminatory.
