Joshua Kurtis Brown

I am a social psychologist interested in understanding groups processes and intergroup relations in both basic and applied settings. In particular, I study what motivates people to identify with groups, self-uncertainty, and identification’s effects on behavior, cognition, performance, and health. I am especially interested in applying research findings to higher education, including classroom management, retention, student success, and pedagogy. I also examine groups processes’ effects on health and in politics.
