	Go beyond 'evil' in analyzing terror attacks, Zajonc says: 11/01
		Zajonc's was titled "Demonization and Collective Violence" and focused on massacres in the name of moral imperatives.
		Zajonc said the events of Sept. 11, however, represent a special case of a broader phenomenon of massacres, which often are predicated on racial or ethnic differences.
		Zajonc concludes that the collective processes leading to violent conflict and nonviolent conflict resolution are the same, with a couple of key differences: While both require a moral imperative, firm leadership and organization, collective violence generally relies on elements of dehumanization or demonization.

	Psychologist urges interdisciplinary research on massacres: 5/99
		Without better answers to such questions, this century's worst legacy is likely to roar on into the next, psychology Professor Robert Zajonc said Wednesday, April 28, at a Jordan Hall seminar for his colleagues and other students.
		Zajonc said he had done widespread reading on massacres for a freshman seminar he taught last fall on the subject and was surprised to discover how little psychology had to offer on the subject of collectively carried-out massacres.
		While many questions need more interdisciplinary research, Zajonc said he believes there is "timely implication" to be drawn from the fact that massacres seem to be mostly products of totalitarian and authoritarian societies.

		Finally, Robert Plutchik emphasizes the fundamental role of affect in the evolution of the species and in the development of the individual.
		Although the entry lacks what Robert do Beaugrande and Wolfgang Dressler call ideational coherence, it does have an emotional coherence, where one predominant emotion (that of emotion) ties successive feeling states (loss, disillusionment, alienation) into a unified experience.
		For instance, Zajonc cites numerous empirical studies in which individuals formed preferences, or positive attitudes, toward an object (musical tone, ideograph, and so on) independent of recognition.

	Zajonc comments on SAT scores: 9/98 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The dearth of news in their annual average-test-score reports can be expected to continue for at least another 12 years, says Stanford psychologist Robert Zajonc, who last year predicted score would remain unchanged for some time.
		Since 1976 Zajonc has done a number of analyses in which he has tried to demonstrate that the average achievement test scores for a given class or age cohort are linked to the test takers' birth order in their families.
		As long as the ratio of first-borns to later-borns in school classrooms remains high and nothing else substantially changes in education, he says, America's average achievement scores will be slightly higher than when families were larger in the post-war baby boom.

		A trio of neuroscientists - Henrietta and Alan Leiner, and Robert Dowchallenge the assumption that motor functions such as walking or raising your hand are under exclusive control of the motor part of the cerebral cortex.
		Indeed, Robert Zajonc, Ph.D., head of the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan, has evidence that simply by making the facial expression you abet development of the feeling.
		Zajonc contends that the relaxing and tightening of facial muscles alters the temperature of the blood reaching the brain, which influences brain areas that regulate emotion.

		The reversal, Robert Zajonc says, may come about simply as a result of demographic changes.
		Zajonc notes, as other researchers have also observed, that the circumstances of being the first-born and of being a member of a small family both lead to greater intellectual performance.
		Zajonc warns that birth order in itself must not be overemphasized, since a large age gap between children within a family will offset the advantage the first-born normally has.
