Edwin Shriver

Edwin Shriver serves as Senior Lecturer in the Department of Psychology at Emmanuel College, teaching General Psychology, Social Psychology, and Research Methods & Statistics courses to undergraduate students.

His academic credentials include a Ph.D. and M.A. from Miami University and a B.A. from Kent State University.

Dr. Shriver's research centers on social cognition mechanisms underlying prejudice and discrimination, with dual emphases on emotional responses to implicit racial bias (measured via IAT) and cognitive models explaining the cross-race recognition deficit. His work integrates experimental social psychology with real-world applications for bias reduction.

Publication analysis reveals consistent investigation of identity-cognition interactions, particularly how power dynamics, social context, and status hierarchies modulate racial perception and intergroup attitudes across experimental paradigms.

His scholarly recognition includes:

• Consecutive Faculty Scholarship Awards from Wheelock College (2015-2016)
• Midwestern Psychological Association Diversity Travel Award (2008)
• Miami University research grants during graduate training
• Horace A. Paige memorial book award for undergraduate excellence

Dr. Shriver has secured $3,000 in research funding and developed service-learning initiatives like 'Parties with a Purpose' to translate contact hypothesis principles into disability attitude interventions. His collaborative approach spans institutions including Wheelock College and Miami University, with ongoing partnerships in social cognition research.

While no dedicated laboratory is specified, his methodology combines experimental face recognition tasks with survey measures across diverse participant pools, reflecting a team-oriented research philosophy focused on actionable psychological science.
