Harriet E. S. Rosenthal
My research interests fall into two distinct social psychological areas:
(1) Stereotype threat. Examining the underlying causes and mechanisms of the negative effects of stereotype threat / choking under pressure and the positive effects of stereotype lift
(2) Adult attachment and group identification. Focusing on the role attachment style plays on group identification, following relationship threat.
Primary Interests:
- Close Relationships
- Intergroup Relations
- Prejudice and Stereotyping
