The second biggest area of research in the micro lab investigates racial prejudice, stereotypes, and discrimination. It is time for Americans to live in a post-race America. Race just doesn't matter when selecting the best candidate, a good friend, or an amazing poet. We have to get past whatever residues of bias we have left over from the racist ancestral roots still permeating the soil of our culture. Much of the work in the micro lab is focused on micro aggressions and micro acts of positivity-many of which are subtle nonverbal cues- or example, smiling just a little bit less at members of one racial group as compared to members of another. Our lab has shown that the nonverbal expression of bias does automatically "leak" out of us, and worse, others can "catch: our biases by observing our behavior." The good news, though, is that micro acts of positivity are equally as powerful. And finally, emerging work in the lab suggests that we have more control over these "automatic" expressions of bias than previously thought. The bottom line goal of this line of work is doing all we can to help stop the role that nonverbal behavior plays in the maintenance and perpetuation of racial bias.
