Kristin Pauker is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. She directs the Intergroup Social Perception (ISP) Lab, which investigates how motivations, social context, and culturally-shaped theories about race influence social perception, intergroup cognition, and stereotyping across development. Her research spans Social and Developmental Psychology and has been published in top-tier journals such as Science, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, and Developmental Psychology.
Her work employs a multi-method approach, incorporating eye-tracking, reaction-time, and behavioral measures with diverse populations including children, adults, and multiracial individuals. She integrates theoretical insights from both social and developmental psychology to create interventions aimed at reducing stereotyping and interpersonal bias.
