How do the ideals and values associated with a nation influence its citizens? On a daily basis, the ethos of a nation is invoked in public discourse concerning current events, policies, scandals, and crises. People commonly express allegiance to national values and ideas, even citing them as reasons to die for their country. And yet, despite considerable speculation in the social sciences on how national cues might influence the citizenry in both subtle and obvious ways, there is surprisingly scarce empirical work revealing exactly how and when that happens. The proposed research breaks new ground in understanding the implicit and explicit influence of symbols of nationalism on people's everyday attitudes, decisions, and behaviors. The researchers plan to identify situations in which the implicit processing of cues to nationalism increases, versus decreases, prejudice and bias toward people of racial and ethnic outgroups. The studies focus on helping behavior as an ecologically valid and important consequence of prejudice. The proposed studies use cutting-edge as well as classical methods, in the lab and field, to test the implications this research for helping people from similar versus different racial and ethnic groups.The proposed work will produce a significant amount of research activity that will involve undergraduates, graduate students, and other faculty in a broadly collaborative effort. The researcher is also developing a research lab website that will make available for download the data, tasks, and measures used in the research, in order to increase collaborative efforts and extensions. The website will also have a significant public outreach component aimed at increasing the general public's knowledge of cutting edge research on nationalism, prejudice, and helping behavior.

与国家相关的理想和价值观如何影响其公民？ 每天，一个民族的精神在公共讨论中被激发有关时事，政策，丑闻和危机。 人们通常表达对国家价值观和思想的忠诚，甚至以他们为为国家而死的原因。 然而，尽管社会科学在社会科学上进行了相当大的猜测，即民族暗示如何以微妙和明显的方式影响公民，但令人惊讶的是，经验工作令人惊讶地揭示了如何以及何时发生的方式。拟议的研究打破了新的基础，以理解民族主义符号对人们日常态度，决策和行为的隐性和明确影响。 研究人员计划确定在民族主义对民族主义的隐含处理增加，与降低，偏见和偏见对种族和族裔群体人群的偏见。 研究集中于帮助行为作为偏见的生态有效和重要结果。 拟议的研究在实验室和领域中使用了尖端和经典方法，以测试这项研究的含义，以帮助来自类似的种族和种族的人们。拟议的工作将产生大量的研究活动，这些研究活动将涉及本科生，研究生和其他教师，并在广泛的协作方面涉及。 研究人员还正在开发一个研究实验室网站，该网站将用于下载研究中使用的数据，任务和措施，以增加协作工作和扩展。 该网站还将拥有一个重要的公共外展部分，旨在提高公众对民族主义，偏见和帮助行为的尖端研究知识。
