Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Names are important aspects of identity, but when they are perceived as difficult to pronounce or “foreign,” they may trigger discriminatory responses. Rather than engaging in name “whitening” as a solution, we advocate placing the onus on others to learn to pronounce names of ethnic minority group members. In one study with White American college students, we examine the effects of a name learning intervention on communications to and perceptions of a Chinese student partner. In a second study with Chinese international students, we examine how name use is perceived. Those who learned to pronounce names (Study 1) and those whose names were used (Study 2) showed increased interest in and behavior geared toward maintaining partner contact, though other outcomes related to ethnic attitudes were unaffected. The data provide initial evidence that name learning and use contribute to more positive interactions and shed light on strategies for promoting inclusion.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
