{"pk":28318,"title":"The embodied, interactional origins of systemic inequality in conversation","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Multi-person conversation is a crucible for social organization and human ingenuity. But not everybody gets equal access.Members of minority and marginalized groups can struggle to participate. Why? Explanations have focused on institu-tional factors, socialization (e.g., feminine communication styles), or ubiquitous prejudice. Here, we propose that it maybe a pernicious consequence of otherwise rational processes: namely, the role of experienced-based prediction in nego-tiating turn-taking during communication (e.g., through gaze allocation). Using an agent-based model, we demonstratethat this mechanism suffices to explain phenomena that have been reported empirically, but without a unified treatment:members of minority or marginalized groups talk less; this is more pronounced in larger groups; despite talking less, theyare perceived to talk more; they are more likely to be interrupted. Besides practical implications for increasing partici-pation by underrepresented groups, we discuss theoretical implications for the emergence of group-level inequality fromindividual cognitive processes.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Abstracts-Posters","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8kg5h3gd","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Tyler","middle_name":"","last_name":"Marghetis","name_suffix":"","institution":"Indiana University, Bloomington","department":""},{"first_name":"Samantha","middle_name":"","last_name":"Cohen","name_suffix":"","institution":"Indiana University, Bloomington","department":""},{"first_name":"Peter","middle_name":"","last_name":"Todd","name_suffix":"","institution":"Indiana University, Bloomington","department":""},{"first_name":"Robert","middle_name":"","last_name":"Goldstone","name_suffix":"","institution":"Indiana University, Bloomington","department":""},{"first_name":"David","middle_name":"","last_name":"Landy","name_suffix":"","institution":"Indiana University, Bloomington","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2018-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/28318/galley/18002/download/"}]}
