<\/strong>Welcome to the BOLD Lab!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/h4>\nBuild. <\/strong><\/h4>\nOne of the most significant problems in our world today is that of social inequities. Decades of research demonstrate that racial minorities, women in STEM fields, and those first in their families to attend college consistently fall behind their white, middle-class, male counterparts in school and in the workplace. In the BOLD lab, we use social-psychological theory to build, implement, and evaluate field-based interventions<\/strong> that address important social inequalities, such as racial and social-class achievement gaps. Our approach consists of controlled laboratory experiments, randomized intervention studies, and longitudinal field studies.<\/p>\nOpportunity.<\/strong><\/h4>\nIn the BOLD lab, we use experimental methods to understand the subtle interpersonal and organizational messages that perpetuate bias and inequality. We specifically focus on the\u00a0subtle messages about belonging, value, talent, and ability\u00a0that are communicated by institutions, employers, instructors, parents, and peers.\u00a0These messages can be communicated verbally\u2014in the form of lectures or one-on-one interactions\u2014and nonverbally\u2014by the materials, policies, and practices put forth by those around us.\u00a0Our research investigates how stigmatized individuals respond to cues from these different sources and how we can design effective\u00a0interventions\u2014so that all groups have the opportunity to flourish\u00a0<\/strong>and reach their full potential.<\/p>\nLearn.<\/strong><\/h4>\nWhy are some people motivated to learn and others aren\u2019t? Our research advances basic social-psychological theory regarding motivational processes that underlie people\u2019s choices, persistence, and performance. Some messages in organizational and educational settings communicate the\u00a0nature of our ability to learn\u00a0<\/strong>(e.g. \u201conly some people are naturally talented\u201d), while other messages communicate\u00a0why learning is valuable\u00a0<\/strong>or useful (e.g. \u201cthis information will be useful in your future career\u201d). Our lab harnesses the power of these messages to bolster people\u2019s thoughts, feeling, and beliefs about school and work.<\/p>\nDevelop.<\/strong><\/h4>\nIn the BOLD lab, we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to develop their skills and talents. Our research on cultivating growth mindset cultures\u2014the idea that anyone can develop their ability and talent over time with good strategies, hard work, and quality mentoring\u2014focuses on practical strategies that teachers, managers, and parents can implement to create a culture that prioritizes growth and development<\/strong> over innate qualities and perfect performance.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" <\/p>\n
