Research areas

Our research is divided into four main areas:

  • inequalities
  • cultural and cross-cultural research
  • social hierarchies
  • social identities.

Our research centre explores how cultural, social, and economic contexts influence the ways people think, feel, and relate to each another.

Our work addresses diverse questions, such as:

  • how cultural views of honour shape behaviour
  • how economic inequality impacts social interactions
  • how group identities affect educational outcomes.

We aim to understand and address social challenges, including inequality and polarisation.

Our research has real-world implications. Insights from our studies are used to improve team performance in organisations and are helping to create educational environments that are inclusive and conducive to well-being.

We’re committed to promoting a more global perspective within psychological science, highlighting how human behaviour is shaped by both universal and culturally specific factors.
