Ernestine Gordijn is a Full Professor in the Department of Social Psychology at the University of Groningen's Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences. Her research focuses on stereotyping, prejudice, emotions, and intergroup conflict, with notable contributions to understanding societal reactions to refugees, police-citizen dynamics, and the role of art in fostering solidarity. She has collaborated internationally, publishing extensively in top journals like Journal of Personality and Social Psychology and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Her work often bridges theoretical insights with practical applications, such as analyzing how emotion expression strategies influence intergroup relations and how collective actions drive moralization processes. Media engagements include expert commentary on unconscious racism and societal discontent. Gordijn serves on editorial boards for journals like Social Cognition and has advised on migration policy research for Dutch governmental bodies.
Her research also explores the psychological mechanisms underlying solidarity formation through performances and conversational dynamics. Notably, she has investigated how technical delays in communication affect group unity and how art can transcend social divides through embodied experiences.
