Dr. Brandon Stewart, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in Social Psychology who conducts research in social cognition, interpersonal and intergroup relationships, and attitudes and bias. He earned his Ph.D. in Social Psychology from Ohio State University.
His expertise revolves around experimental methods and measuring stereotyping and bias at both the explicit level and the implicit or unconscious level; he has created an implicit measure of bias that has been used extensively within the literature to measure implicit bias. He also has experience in manipulating goal focus and measuring the effects of those goal manipulations in changing people’s implicit bias within difficult to control situations and the effects of goals and ideologies on intergroup relationships and intergroup attitudes.
