What we study
The Ratliff Lab studies social psychology, including bias and stigma. A recent student project collects survey data on how accurately people identify autism from short video clips, and how that relates to marginalized identities.

Marginalized Identities and Thin-Slice Autism Identification Accuracy Stigma toward out-groups influences interactions, perceptions, and relationships
The lab studies how quickly people can guess if someone is autistic from short video clips. Students collect survey data from about 600 participants, asking them to identify autistic characters, and analyze how accurate these guesses are and how other identities affect accuracy.
