Jordan LaBouff

Jordan LaBouff is an Associate Professor of Psychology and Honors at the University of Maine, investigating how beliefs and virtues shape intergroup attitudes and prosocial actions. His research examines religion-based prejudice reduction, humility effects on helping behavior, and implicit cognition in social policy contexts. With potential graduate recruitment for Fall 2025, he employs experimental and survey methods across three domains: virtue-prosocial behavior links, belief-intergroup bias interactions, and applied implicit cognition.

Key research findings demonstrate:

• Humble individuals exhibit greater helping behaviors
• Contextual framing reduces anti-atheist prejudice
• Implicit religiosity measures predict social attitudes
• Right-wing authoritarianism mediates religious fundamentalism effects
