Faculty Member, Dept of Social and Economic Psychology
About
I am interested in theoretically based analyses of societal processes as there are: Culture change, public perception of science and technology, racism, stereotyping, social identity, violence, religious fundamentalism. Besides, I consider societal processes a good source for theory building that complements experimental work. Theoretically I am working on several kinds of approaches including social representation theory. In terms of methodology I consider the strict division between qualitative and quantitative methods as obsolete. I feel at home in both.
