Jordan Axt is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at McGill University, affiliated with the McGill Intergroup Cognition Lab. His research focuses on understanding how people form and express intergroup biases in attitudes and behavior, examining both explicit (controlled processes) and implicit (automatic processes) mechanisms across domains like race, politics, religion, age, and physical attractiveness. He emphasizes using large, diverse samples and innovative methodologies to conceptualize, measure, and reduce such biases.
Key research interests include the reliability of bias measurement tools, policy implications of implicit social cognition, and intervention strategies to reduce discrimination. His work spans experimental designs, psychometrics, and cross-cultural studies, with a focus on translating findings into actionable policies and practices.
Notable contributions include studies on attractiveness-based discrimination, race-gender stereotypes, and the validity of implicit association measures. Axt collaborates widely, evidenced by co-authored papers with researchers like E. Roy, C.K. Lai, and T. Talhelm. No scientific awards are listed here, though his prolific publication record reflects sustained academic impact.
His lab, the McGill Intergroup Cognition Lab, serves as a hub for exploring intergroup dynamics through experimental and computational methods, addressing real-world applications in bias mitigation and social policy.
