Jay W. Jackson
Dr. Jackson’s primary research interests are intergroup relations, social dilemmas, group decision making, and social identity theory. He is currently studying (a) how people respond to social dilemmas that consist of distinct subgroups,(b) how intergroup contact experiences mediate the relationship between personality characteristics and prejudice, (c) how communication medium and task type affects decision-making processes and outcomes, and (d) how different aspects of group identity relate to intra- and intergroup perceptions and reactions
