Social Psychology of Health and Well-Being
At the Social Psychology of Health and Well-Being Lab at Bar-Ilan University, we investigate the social psychological mechanisms that help maintain intergroup inequality, and how they contribute to disparities in health, mental health, and well-being.
Applying social psychology to study health and well-being related outcomes, the lab focuses on two main lines of research:
- The effects of dehumanization and objectification on people’s mental, physical, and sexual health.
Understanding the subtle psychological processes that maintain inequality and finding ways to overcome them
We are based at The Azrieli Faculty of Medicine in Safed, Israel.
