Jay W. Jackson

I earned an undergraduate degree in psychology with a minor in anthropology at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). I stayed at IUPUI for my initial graduate work, receiving an M.S. in applied social psychology while working in the Osgood Laboratory for Cross-Cultural Research, directed by Dr. Oliver C.S. Tzeng. I then went to Purdue University (West Lafayette, IN) and received my Ph.D. in social psychology (1996), while working with Drs. Janice Kelly, Eliot Smith, and Denise Driscoll. I am currently a professor of psychology at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW). My primary research interests include intergroup relations, social identity theory, social dilemmas, and person-situation interactionism. I teach undergraduate courses in introductory psychology, social psychology, personality psychology, history of psychology, and advanced research methods in personality and social psychology.

  • Group Processes
  • Intergroup Relations
