Celeste Doerr's research focuses on stereotypes and prejudice, with specific emphasis on the factors that support attitude change and promote positive interracial interactions. She examines the experiences people have as a result as their membership in various social groups, such as racial/ethnic groups, to determine how group-based experiences influence people's expectations, responses, and motivations in interactions. Her current work concerns the effects of Black and White individuals' expectancies for interracial interactions. She also examines the development of egalitarian motivation. Dr. Doerr earned her Doctor of Philosophy degree in Social examining Psychology from Florida State University and her Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from California State University, Sacramento.
