Dr. Lee Jussim is Distinguished Professor, Chair and Graduate Director of the Department of Psychology at Rutgers University. He also runs the Social Perception Lab there. The lab studies how people perceive, think about, and judge others. He is a leader in the fields of person perception, stereotype accuracy and bias and has been integral in the initiative for viewpoint diversity which advocates to correct the inaccuracies in the field of social psychology research. In support of the latter, he helped start Heterodox Academy, a collection of academics pushing for improvements in their academic fields.
In this episode, the conversation is centered on stereotypes. We talk a little bit about the history of looking at stereotypes as inaccurate; how we can test their accuracy; if they affect people’s perception of the groups they’re targeted at; stereotype threats; self-fulfilling prophecies; the validity of implicit bias testing; and some issues with political bias in Social Psychology, and social constructivism.
