Identity and Intergroup Relations Lab

In the Identity & Intergroup Relations Lab, we research interactions between members of different social groups (e.g., gay people and straight people, Black people and White people, etc.), what influences the quality of these interactions, and what we can do to improve them. We also research the outcomes that follow from these interactions, particularly for members of minoritized groups (e.g., disparities in health and wellbeing, identity threat, etc.). Current projects in the lab examine when and why people choose to reveal or conceal their stigmatized identities, and what the downstream effects of prejudice reduction interventions are for minoritized-group members. 

More details can be found on the lab research page. 

We are inviting you to participate in Dyadic Study!

This study involves a very brief screening survey to determine whether you are eligible, and then a 1-hour long session where you will come into the lab and answer questions about your thoughts, feelings, and emotions, and complete a writing task.

While there is no compensation for filling out the brief screening survey, eligible participants
can earn $20 for participating in the study! To sign up for this study, you can take a brief screening survey by following this link: https://pitt.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bBDAnldf26WvauO

These studies have been reviewed by the University of Pittsburgh’s IRB. If you have any questions, please contact the lab manager at IIRLAB@pitt.edu.

Announcements will run bi-weekly throughout the summer.
