In this article, the author, Mauro Jose Cavalcanti discusses how he conducted a thorough analysis of all the species within Sphyrna by utilizing “matrix representation with parsimony” to produce a phylogenetic supertree. In order to produce an accurate supertree, he applied morphological data regarding the evolution of the cephalofoil and he examined the likely adaptive implication of the unique hammerhead morphology. Cavalcanti discussed that the cephalofoil allows better maneuverability in the…

ignorance of each other. Something as simple (or complex) as “naming” a Native American character in the literature based on stereotypes can have tremendous implications on how people choose to see the Native Americans.

A common saying goes, “Knowledge is power”, but this idea is not always true before starting a research endeavor. In fact, research demands as much of an unbiased view as possible. Sometimes, it is required for researchers to try and rid themselves of all known information.

The time is filled with uncertainty as the…

People tend to make biases about others and treat them differently, while they surround people in their “groups” with…

Kossowska and colleagues wanted to see if a person’s moral taboos or religious doctrine were challenged by an outgroup if that would cause person feel a sense of uncertainty avoidance (2015). Kossowska and colleagues wished to find out if uncertainty avoidance was felt, would that lead to a prejudicial attitude toward the outgroup (2015). A study was performed on 225 Polish citizens to test each individual’s uncertainty avoidance by use of the Need for Closure scale.…

it something that we know how to do. Overall, it will not increase contact would realistically decrease the employee’s’ prejudice towards Blacks because it's more of an ingroup bias that they attend to be more comfortable in their group over the outgroup members.
