    Unit 1: Names

    This lecture discusses how names influence people's perceptions and responses. It covers 4 main ways that parents choose names: 1) continuing family names, 2) naming after someone admired, 3) providing career advantages, and 4) personal preference. Names can shape expectations through unconscious associations. In one study, teachers gave more positive feedback to identical homework they believed came from students with names stereotyped as "high-achieving" compared to those with stereotyped "low-achieving" names. The lecture concludes by reviewing the main ideas and posing discussion questions.
