I am
a
social psychologist
, and
my
research
focuses on social group processes that relate to social identity
,
stereotyping, prejudice, and social exclusion. Working with Miles Hewstone, I have published several highly-cited
articles
that defend social identity theory against its critics
and
call for more sophisticated tests of its core hypotheses
.
In the area of stereotyping, Constantina Badea and I have identified new processes that explain why people perceive members of social groups to be “all the same.” My
work
on prejudice
has been
funded by two Discovery Project grants from the Australian Research Council. In the first project
,
Stefania Paolini, Richard Crisp
, and
I have identified cognitive and motivational factors that predict prejudice against “category-inconsistent” people such as migrants and counterstereotypical individuals. In the second project, Stefania Paolini, Jake Harwood, and I have shown that negative encounters with out-group members increase prejudice more than positive encounters decrease prejudice. Finally,
in the
area
of social
exclusion, I’ve provided meta
-
analytic evidence that working
-
class students are less integrated at university than middle-class students, I’ve identified personality and demographic variables that predict migrants’
social
exclusion
,
and I’ve shown that the need for self-esteem motivates people to exclude out-group members from their in-group
.
