Welcome to the Neuberg Lab! We are currently exploring the following questions, and others like them:

• Why do we stigmatize some people and not others? Why are we prejudiced against some groups and not others?


• Why do we feel and act differently toward members of different stigmatized groups?


• What characteristics do we want members of our groups to have? Why these characteristics and not others?


• How do important social goals (e.g., to protect oneself, to find romance) influence the ways in which we perceive and come to understand the individuals around us?


• In what ways does religion influence intergroup conflict?
