Georgia Attitude, Bias, and Behavior Acquisition Lab (GABBA Lab), Dr. Allison Skinner In the Georgia Attitude, Bias, and Behavior Acquisition Lab (GABBA Lab) we examine how systemic forms of oppression are maintained and reinforced through subtle patterns of thought and behavior, and how those systems can be challenged. More specifically, we study how situational cues in our social environments shape our attitudes and behavior toward other individuals and groups. The situational cues that we investigate are subtle but powerful features of social contexts and interactions (e.g., nonverbal cues, microaggressions) that influence observers’ affective associations with others. To do this work we utilize correlational and experimental approaches—and employ multiple methods. We are strong supporters of open science principles as we feel that they result in more replicable and reproducible science, but also directly improve our research by promoting more thoughtful consideration at each step of the research process.
