An outgroup homogeneity (OH) effect implies that outgroup members are perceived to be more similar than ingroup members. At present, however, it is not clear whether the OH effect is truly perceptual. Here, we used an Ebbinghaus illusion to demonstrate the OH effect in perception. Participants were presented with one central face that was surrounded by four surrounding faces. The central face w...

While being adopted by large companies, ISMS are still considered as out of range by numerous smaller entities. To help ...

IT security incidents pose a major threat to the efficient execution of corporate strategies. Although, information security standards provide a holistic approach to mitigate these threats and legal acts demand their implementation, companies often refrain from the implementation of information security standards, especially due to high costs and the lack of evidence for a positive cost/benefit...

Analysing large amounts of financial information within databases can be hardly accomplished when dealing with money laundering. The main reason is the lack of digital forensics and proper database analysis procedures within the anti-money laundering strategies of financial institutions. Also, analysing single or grouped financial events related to money laundering is difficult when the Know-Yo...

Three studies are reported about children's memory for stereotypic behaviors attributed to ingroup and outgroup members. According to research and theory in social cognition, cues present in the situation make cultural representations about group members accessible, and once primed, influence all phases of the information processing sequence. In Study 1, Euro Canadian and Native Canadian childr...
