What is theESIP Lab?

In this Social Psychology lab we seek to understand how emotion and cognition shape intergroup relations.

Ongoing research questions include:

  • How do people respond to racial passing? And, what factors affect this response?

  • What are the emotional antecedents of competitive victimhood?

  • How do perceptions (e.g., outgroup cohesiveness) shape responses to apology?

  • What is the best way to frame an intergroup apology so as to promote reconciliation?

  • How do norms about how we are “supposed to feel” shape responses to collective disadvantage?

What role do research assistants play in the lab?

  • Research assistants play a vital part in conducting the research that is done in the lab, from beginning to end.

  • Research in our lab is done in teams, each consisting of roughly three student members – a team leader, team associate, and team assistant.

  • Research teams are organized hierarchically to facilitate the progress of each project and to advance team members from novice researchers to experts.

  • Students' skills and responsibilities shift based on their experience in the lab and the project at hand.
