Our Research

We investigate how social psychological processes shape political, economic, cultural and organisational life. We have a vibrant research culture which draws together different traditions of theory and research in social psychology.

We view psychology as a social science, the real world as our laboratory, and social psychology as a tool for understanding and addressing pressing social issues.
