The SIGNAL Lab is an undergraduate-initiated research project focused on topics like stereotypes, implicit bias, group norms, and intergroup relations. It was founded by Joseph Appiah, a psychology graduate from the University of Ghana.
No, the SIGNAL Lab is an independent initiative—not officially affiliated with any university at this stage. It’s a growing academic platform for student-led research and collaboration.
We conduct research projects that explore stereotypes, implicit bias, social cognition, and intergroup dynamics. Our work includes systematic reviews, meta-analyses, experimental designs, and theoretical papers, with a focus on understanding how bias operates in institutions like the media, education, and policing.
Any student or early-career researcher with an interest in social psychology, prejudice, diversity, or group behavior is welcome to join. You don’t need prior experience just commitment and willingness to learn.
Depending on the project, you might help with literature reviews, data collection, data analysis, writing, or sharing research through blogs or presentations. Support and training are provided.
No. Since the lab is remote-friendly, you can join from anywhere, as long as you’re able to contribute and stay in touch regularly.
