DESCRIPTION (provided by candidate): There is overwhelming evidence that many of our social behaviors and complex mental processes occur without the guidance of conscious deliberation, that is, they occur "automatically," due to causes far removed from awareness (e.g., covert priming). For example, there is evidence that people automatically imitate the postures, facial expressions, and speaking styles of others, and that they automatically prepare to physically interact with objects. Recent accounts also speak of the automaticity of "higher-lever' processes, as in the unconscious evaluation of perceptual stimuli and the unconscious initiation of, and successful execution of, goal pursuit. Yet, despite the plethora of evidence, surprisingly little is known about the processes by which these various effects take place. There are simply no well-defined process models to account for these ubiquitous findings. The primary aim of the proposed studies is to arrive at a more thorough understanding of the processes that give rise to automatic social behavior. To achieve this, we will look to several models of automaticity that have proven to be successful in other domains, such as in psycholinguistics and in action-planning research. These models will be used to further develop our own "Inhibitor Model" of automaticity, and to generate new questions that research can address. By developing a clearer process model, we will be able to predict and understand the ways in which unconscious sources guide behavior. Without such a model, the mechanisms underlying automatic behavior, judgment, and goal pursuit will remain mysterious.

描述（由候选人提供）：有压倒性的证据表明，我们的许多社会行为和复杂的心理过程是在没有有意识的深思熟虑的指导下发生的，也就是说，它们是“自动”发生的，原因是远离意识的原因（例如，隐性启动） ）。例如，有证据表明，人们会自动模仿他人的姿势、面部表情和说话风格，并且会自动准备与物体进行身体互动。最近的报道还谈到了“高级”过程的自动性，例如对感知刺激的无意识评估以及目标追求的无意识启动和成功执行。然而，尽管有大量证据，但令人惊讶的是，人们对这一过程知之甚少。根本没有明确定义的过程模型来解释这些普遍存在的发现，所提出的研究的主要目的是更彻底地理解产生自动社交的过程。行为。为了实现这一目标，我们将寻找几种已被证明在其他领域取得成功的自动化模型，例如在心理语言学和行动计划研究中，这些模型将用于进一步开发我们自己的自动化“抑制剂模型”。通过开发更清晰的过程模型，我们将能够预测和理解无意识来源引导行为的方式。如果没有这样的模型，自动行为、判断和目标追求的潜在机制将仍然是神秘的。
