معرفی
Dr. Marieke Vermue is a Researcher at Utrecht University's Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences, specifically within the Social, Health and Organisational Psychology department. She is also affiliated with the Organizational Behaviour group led by Naomi Ellemers. Since September 2023, she has held a position as a Researcher at the Netherlands Institute for Social Research (SCP/Sociaal en Cultureel Planbureau), working to bridge social science research with policy formation.
Her educational background includes a PhD in Social Psychology where she specialized in intergroup processes. Her research expertise centers on intergroup and intra-group relations, with particular focus on how social interactions between different groups can reduce prejudice and discrimination. She has developed strong skills in quantitative research, experimental design, and data science.
Dr. Vermue's publication record demonstrates consistent research in intergroup contact theory, trust behavior across social boundaries, and the application of social psychology to real-world policy issues. Her work often examines how experiences with outgroup members generalize to novel situations and how these interactions influence prosocial behavior and collective action. She has contributed to high-impact research on the reproducibility of psychological science and has explored connections between social identity, morality, and diversity.
Her current work focuses on connecting behavioral scientific knowledge to policy formation and societal challenges, particularly through her collaboration between Utrecht University and the Netherlands Institute for Social Research. This partnership aims to strengthen the connection between academic social science and practical policy implementation.
Dr. Vermue has published extensively in top-tier journals including Group Processes and Intergroup Relations, Current Psychology, Journal of Applied Social Psychology, Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, and British Journal of Social Psychology. Her research has received significant attention, with her 2015 paper on reproducibility of psychological science being particularly influential.
