Nils Karl Reimer

Nils Reimer is Assistant Professor in Social Psychology at UC Santa Barbara, employing advanced quantitative methods to study intergroup relations and social change. His research examines how intergroup contact influences prejudice, social justice awareness, and collective action across diverse contexts.

Research focuses on:

• Paradoxical effects of intergroup contact
• Social network influences on attitude formation
• Psychological barriers to social change

Current projects investigate how interpersonal interactions affect perceptions of systemic injustice and willingness to challenge inequitable systems. His longitudinal studies in post-conflict settings inform interventions to improve intergroup relations.
