Andrés Sánchez Prada is a faculty member at the Pontifical University of Salamanca's Faculty of Psychology, where he specializes in Behavioral Science Methodology. As an active researcher with the PSIGESA (Psychology, Gender, and Health) research group, he contributes significantly to understanding gender-based violence, bystander intervention, and attitude measurement. His academic profile shows consistent publication activity from 2014 through 2023 across multiple high-impact journals. Dr. Sánchez Prada earned his doctorate from the Pontifical University of Salamanca in 2008 with a thesis titled 'Deconstrucción y construcción del cambio en terapia centrada en soluciones una aproximación cualitativa' under Dr. Mark Beyebach's supervision. This foundational work in solution-focused therapy has evolved into his current research focus on gender-based violence. His primary research interests center on violence against women (VAW), intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW), and bystander intervention strategies. He has made significant methodological contributions through developing measurement tools like the Gender Violence Implicit Association Test (GV-IAT) and the Questionnaire of Intention to Help in VAW Cases (QIHVC). His work examines how gender, age, academic training, and previous experiences influence attitudes toward violence against women and bystander behaviors, revealing important discrepancies between explicit and implicit attitudes. Analysis of his publication trends shows a clear evolution toward practical applications of psychological research. His most recent work focuses on developing tools for measuring bystander intentions across different violence scenarios and analyzing how stereotypes about battered women affect judicial practices. A distinctive feature of his research is the consistent comparison between explicit (self-report) and implicit (reaction-time based) attitude measurements, demonstrating that socially sensitive topics like violence against women often show significant gaps between what people report and their automatic responses. Dr. Sánchez Prada actively collaborates with researchers across Spain and Europe on projects related to violence prevention. His work with the PSIGESA research group demonstrates a commitment to translating research findings into practical interventions that address gender-based violence in Spanish contexts. His research has been published in high-impact journals including Frontiers in Psychology, International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Journal of Interpersonal Violence, and PLoS ONE.
