Marleen Stelter explains the idea of a spatial meta-analysis of the Other-'Race' effect: is the ORE greater in more segregated and/ or more homogeneous areas? Osthofen #facemeeting

What is the relationship between social categorization and prejudice? Christoph Klauer revisits an old problem at Osthofen #facemeeting.

Explaining the enigmatic other-race effect: @tapalma.bsky.social discusses whether people attend to individuating features of own-race faces that are not diagnostic to distinguish other-race faces. Osthofen #facemeeting

Sarah Buhl introduces the relevance of egalitarian beliefs for understanding what category dimensions people attend to. #facemeeting

Juliane Degner kicks off the #facemeeting organized by Felicitas Flade and Verena Heidrich with a fascinating talk on the of perceptual similarity in "categorization" effect.

Ipek Oruc brings welcome vision science expertise to Osthofen #facemeeting. The "Face diet" method records all faces people encounter during their waking hours. People do see more own-race faces in their environment - and limited other-race exposure is associated with increased ORE.

Verena Heidrich continues with a discussion on the role of the meta-contrast ratio of category cues as an affordance for social categorization. #facemeeting
