Quote by Brian Hare Vanessa Woods

“If groups could come together in low-anxiety situations, they discovered, these strangers would have the chance to empathize with one another... Most policies are enacted witht he assumption that a change in attitude will lead to a change in behaviour, but in the case of intergroup conflict, it is the change in behaviour- in the form of contact - that will most likely change attitudes.”

“BIRTH ORDER, n. The sequence in which children are born into a family. Firstborns, like only children, typically receive a lot of attention and later have a slightly higher IQ. Once there is more than one child in a family, children often compete viciously, or take opposing paths so they can’t be compared. See ALFRED ADLER.”

“SCHEMA, n. A mental template students use to process and categorize new information based on previous experiences. They do so by either assimilation or accommodation. For example, a child might have a schema for a dog that includes features like “four-legged” and “furry.” If the child encounters a cat for the first time, they might initially assimilate it into the “dog” schema. However, when her dad tries to hang a painting on the wall, and she then notices that the dog looks up to his master in full admiration while the cat observes the two in arrogance—realizing that the image is far from being hung straight—the child accommodates this new information by creating a new schema for "cat.”
