OUR PROJECTS

• Usage of Reaction Time for an Unbiased Estimate of Prejudice: A Novel Approach to Measurement and Modeling
  The project GA24-11974S, funded by the Czech Science Foundation, explores the possibilities of incorporating reaction time modeling into prejudice measurement to provide more accurate and unbiased estimates.

• The Role of Distinct Types of Social Norms in Improving Conflictual Intergroup Relations 

The project 23-06170S, awarded by the Czech Science Foundation, investigates how normative support for intergroup interactions shapes prejudice against  stigmatized   groups (the Roma) and willingness to reconcile with former adversaries in a post-conflict society (Kosovo) 

• Acculturation and intergroup behaviours 

The project 20-01214S, awarded by the Czech Science Foundation, investigates the dynamic relationship between acculturation preferences and the quality of intergroup relations in majority and minority members. 

• Covid-19 and immigrants

The international project in six countries examines the link between anti-COVID behaviour and attitudes toward immigrants, focusing on fear from the unknown as an underlying mechanism.

• Acculturation and collective action

The project 17-14387S, awarded by the Czech Science Foundation, unravelled how acculturation strategies of both minority and majority members affect support for minority rights.

• Intergroup contact and group perception

The project 13-25656S, awarded by the Czech Science Foundation, contributed to understanding how stereotypes influence the effect of intergroup contact on prejudice – both primary and secondary transfer effects.
