• Prejudice Reduction
• +۲ مورد دیگر

Dr. Sofia Stathi serves as Professor in Social Psychology at the School of Human Sciences, Faculty of Education, Health and Human Sciences, University of Greenwich, where she has been employed since 2011 following prior academic positions at the University of Kent. Her educational background includes a BSc in Psychology from the University of Crete, Greece, and a PhD from the University of Birmingham, UK, establishing her expertise in psychological theory and research methodology. Education: BSc in Psychology, University of Crete, Greece PhD, University of Birmingham, UK Her research program centers on intergroup relations with exceptional depth in contact theory applications, investigating how imagined, vicarious, and nostalgic contact strategies can reduce prejudice across diverse populations including refugees, ethnic minorities, and children with disabilities. She examines critical psychological mechanisms such as meta-humanization, dehumanization, and social identity processes within conflictual settings, with cross-cultural studies conducted in Turkey, China, and Western contexts. Her work consistently bridges theoretical frameworks with real-world interventions, particularly in educational environments where contact strategies are implemented to foster inclusion. Analysis of her 2023-2025 publications reveals three dominant thematic trajectories: experimental testing of digital versus face-to-face contact modalities, exploration of populism's psychological foundations in intergroup violence, and refinement of meta-attitude accuracy models in conflict resolution. These works demonstrate methodological diversity spanning field experiments in schools, large-scale healthcare data analysis, and cross-national surveys, while maintaining conceptual cohesion around prejudice reduction mechanisms. The research shows increasing interdisciplinary integration with health psychology (addressing racial pain management disparities) and political psychology (examining collective action determinants). Dr. Stathi maintains active research leadership through school-based intervention development and theoretical contributions to contact hypothesis extensions, though specific grant funding details and student supervision records are not publicly documented. Her Twitter presence (@DrSofiaStathi) indicates ongoing engagement with contemporary social psychology discourse and dissemination of research findings to broader audiences.
