My research is mainly concerned
with social cognition, attribution, stereotyping, and intergroup relations.
After my early work on the Black Sheep effect and the Ingroup Overexclusion effect, I mainly developed an interest in
stereotyping and more specifically in the formation and preservation of
stereotypes as well as their suppression. The basic idea is that people rely on
stereotypes not only for cognitive reasons (they face limited resources)
but also for motivational reasons (their stereotypes serve their own as
well as their group’s image) and social reasons (they believe
their stereotypes are shared by their group members). For many years, I studied
group perception by examining aspects of homogeneity, entitativity,
and essentialism. More recently, I turned to the issue of fundamental
dimensions of social perception in the context of what I call the compensation
pattern of stereotypes: people who are perceived to be competent also tend
to be perceived as not so warm and conversely. Together with several
colleagues, I also initiated a program of research on social emotions in
which we investigate whether, how, and why people experience emotions not
because of events that occur to them personally, but because of events that
affect members of groups to which they belong. Another interest of mine is
statistics and methods. The research conducted so far focuses on the use of
ANCOVA in personality and social research and issues of moderated mediation
and mediated moderation.
