Subject: [Sbigml] Lecture on Social Connection and Intergroup Relations


The OSU Social Behavior Interest Group is pleased to announce that Dr.
Steven Spencer of University of Waterloo will be giving a talk this
Thursday, November 15th at 4:00PM in the Psychology Buildingroom 035.  Dr.
Spencer will give a talk titled "Belaying the Ties that Bind: Using Social
Connection to Improve Intergroup Relations, Achievement, and Smoking
Cessation" (Abstract below).

Accompanying this invitation is a flyer about the lecture. We sincerely hope
you will be able to attend!



Abstract: In our recent work, my colleagues and I have examined the
propensity to and the potency of making connections with others. Such social
connections even with strangers can shape our goals, emotions, and even our
physiology. I will describe our more recent work that examines how these
social connections can take different forms and how they can be harnessed to
improve intergroup relations, reduce stereotype threat and improve
achievement, and enhance self-affirmations that improve attempts at smoking
cessation.
