Jessica Salvatore
I study the antecedents and consequences/implications of human difference:
(1) Between-group (perceived) differences (e.g., stereotyping and meta-stereotyping in complex intergroup systems; stigma based on social categories)
(2) Within-group (perceived) differences (e.g., social pressures to construe the self as independent of social influence; stigma based on personal characteristics/conditions)
Primary Interests:
- Applied Social Psychology
- Gender Psychology
- Intergroup Relations
- Law and Public Policy
- Persuasion, Social Influence
- Political Psychology
- Prejudice and Stereotyping
- Sexuality, Sexual Orientation
