Stacey A. Sinclair holds a dual appointment as Professor in the Department of Psychology within Princeton University's Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs. Her research investigates how culturally embedded prejudices translate into individual cognition through interpersonal dynamics, challenging institutional-focused bias models by examining micro-level social processes. Her work centers on two groundbreaking frameworks: Social Tuning : Demonstrates unconscious adjustment of prejudice and self-views toward interaction partners' perceived attitudes during liking or uncertainty states Implicit Homophily : Reveals interpersonal attraction to others with congruent implicit (but disavowed) intergroup bias These phenomena collectively indicate that individuals may inhabit self-reinforcing social networks with uniform bias levels, creating invisible pathways for prejudice transmission. Current projects explore how such networks impact health and intellectual performance among stigmatized groups, particularly through unrecognized environmental reinforcement mechanisms. Her publication record (2014-2016) shows consistent focus on implicit racial bias operating beneath conscious awareness across contexts like speed perception, educational settings, and ingroup bonding. This work establishes that prejudice persists not only through explicit systems but via subtle interpersonal feedback loops that bypass conscious control, with implications for policy interventions targeting unconscious bias channels. No scientific awards were specified in the source materials. While student advising details were omitted, her lab operates as a nexus for social psychological research on bias transmission. Funding sources remain unmentioned, though her affiliation with Princeton's School of Public and International Affairs suggests policy-relevant applications of her findings. Her laboratory environment actively investigates how micro-interactions generate macro-level inequality patterns, currently developing projects to quantify bias immersion effects on cognitive performance and physiological health outcomes in marginalized populations through controlled social network experiments.
