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.
