Research

Here in the SPP Lab we are passionate about discussing and studying political and social issues, especially those relating to intergroup relations, and social and political tolerance. In studying such topics like prejudice, and socio-political attitudes and behaviour, including collective action, we consider personal and contextual factors. In our work, we rely on various methodological approaches including experimental and survey methods, quantitative and qualitative data, linguistic analyses, content analyses, and cross-sectional and repeated measures designs. We strive to have our research questions drive our methods (as much as our budget allows).
