Cultural Psych/Inequality

[PokePsych]

Hola!

My shortlist for PhDs is not that long. I was wondering if someone could maybe indicate some more potential supervisors in this area (either cultural psych or people researching inequality/social class)?? Thanks in advance! Name-dropping time

That's a big topic.

Some names studying economic inequality within psychology are Michael Kraus, Keith Payne, Paul Piff, Michael Norton, Sophie Trawalter, Jazmin Brown-Iannuzzi, Dacher Keltner. Susan Fiske is near top of the list but I bet she's close to retiring. You could also look up people who study power like Adam Galinsky, Derek Rucker, Pamela Smith, Joe Magee, and others; system justification like John Jost and Aaron Kay; or social dominance like Jim Sidanius, Felicia Pratto, and more recently Arnold Ho.

Also, can't believe I forgot Jennifer Richeson.

Don't forget about Lara Aknin and Azim Shariff who are recently joining in on this topic as well. Although, I'm familiar with most names on the topic. I'm just not necessarily interested in most of the research done by people. Michael Kraus is awesome but Yale's PhD program is not my cup of tea. Am applying to UCI and SFU though

Right, I've seen their income mobility paper, which was interesting but a bit unexpected because usually Aknin does happiness research and Shariff does religion. Since that paper was a secondary data analysis, not original work, I am curious to see what else they might have going on and coming out.

I know she's curerntly working on the correspondence bias and got a grant for person perception on this topic (Had email contact). Am applying to UCI anyway coz Paul Piff is there.
