However, generalizing about a group in a positive manner can be just as harmful to a business environment as generalizing in a negative manner. In the text Ouch! That Stereotype Hurts, Alquilar (2006) discusses ...

Consciously or subconsciously, children tend to imitate behaviors, by inculcating to their own personalities features “borrowed” from the ones they identify as models.

This process is what constitutes “priming” and in addition to just activating related thoughts and concepts, it can also influence behavior. This paper seeks to explore this concept by using an example of a media advert ...

The critical importance of morality in leadership lays not in the highest standard of behavior it can set; but in the disastrous outcomes it can prevent, or at least, help prevent. The problem, however, is in the relativistic environment it has to deal with. Relativism has no standard, other than the standard of the individual. And, in the corporate world, that standard often rests in the position of power. Anyone in power has the official incentive to impose personal standards (“individualistic morality”) upon others. That, however, does not mean that a morality based on personal standards is morality at ...

People will have problems in identifying the second stimuli when it comes after the first stimuli within 200-500ms (Slagter and Georgopoulou, 2013).

Additionally, the authors note, “attentional blink has been attributed with the dysfunctional gating of information to working memory rather than the ...
