At the basic level, we study cognitive, emotional, and motivational phenomena such as the formation of beliefs, attitudes, memories, personality, and the unconscious. At the interpersonal level, we study the self and its relationship to others, romantic relationships, and interracial interactions. At the group level, we study the emergence of culture, intragroup harmony, aggression, social inequities, intergroup conflict, stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination. Commensurate with the diversity of our interests, we utilize an array of research methods, including experimental, longitudinal, observational, physiological, and qualitative techniques.
