Hanali Gilbert Social Cognition Laboratory
Hanali Gilbert grew up in Walker, Michigan as a Korean American adoptee who excelled academically and socially since transferring to GV from community college. With the support and love of her family, Hanali will be the first person in her family to pursue a doctoral degree. Her experiences growing up gave Hanali a keen appreciation of the obstacles that minorities face in their day to day lives and has inspired her to pursue an advanced degree so she can serve underrepresented groups through counseling services. With the desire to gain admission to a graduate program and to advance her applied research skills, Hanali joined the social cognition laboratory in 2018. In the laboratory, Hanali worked on projects that examined individual’s memory for previous beliefs and the behavioral consequences of Machiavellianism. Along with her co-authors, Hanali presented her research at Student’s Scholarship Day, 2020.

Machiavellianism Predicts Careless Responding if Incentive is Present
Elise Richards, Hanali Gilbert, Kegan Olsen & Alex Denison
Mentors: Michael Wolfe, Ph.D. (Cognitive) & Todd Williams, Ph.D. (Social)
Using the Two-Dimensional Machiavellianism Scale (TDMS; Monaghan, Bizumic, Williams & Selbom, 2019), we assessed whether Machiavellianism was related to careless responding. The participants were introductory psychology students who had completed the TDMS and the mini-IPIP personality inventory (Donnellan, Oswald, Baird & Lucas, 2006) during a pre-screening session earlier in the semester. The study had participants complete a basic arithmetic task, followed by the mini-IPIP. Participants were instructed to complete the mini-IPIP as quickly as possible, but without sacrificing response accuracy. Results show that when quick responding was incentivized higher levels of Machiavellianism predicted increased levels of careless responding. Careless responding did not vary by Machiavellianism when incentive was not present.
