Prejudice & Stereotypes
Dr. Plant and Dr. Maner explore issues related to prejudice and stereotyping. Dr. Plant's current research in this area examines the regulation of prejudice, intergroup interactions, and people's motivation to respond without prejudice. Other work focuses on developing mechanisms to encourage prejudice reduction and the successful control of stereotype use. Dr. Maner's research explores ways in which emotions such as fear and anxiety can affect prejudice and stereotyping.
