about us
The Northwestern Social Cognition Lab investigates the the basic mental processes under-lying social behavior. We investigate a wide range of issues in the areas of attitudes, social cognition, and intergroup relations, with a particular focus on person perception, the processes through which we form impressions and evaluations of others. We also in-vestigate how basic research in the area of attitudes and social cognition can be used to understand consumer behavior and promote sustainable patterns of consumption.
