His work examines how stereotypes are mentally represented, how they become activated, and the consequences of this activation for cognitive processes like attention, inference, and memory. He investigates both implicit and explicit aspects of stereotyping and prejudice, exploring the relationship between affect and social cognition. His recent work has made significant contributions to understanding intersectional stereotyping, where multiple social identities interact to shape perceptions. His publication record demonstrates consistent, high-impact contributions to social psychology, with recent work examining complex intersections of race, gender, sexual orientation, and social class. His research spans cognitive, social, and cultural psychology, with applications to understanding prejudice, discrimination, and social decision-making across diverse contexts. Professor Bodenhausen directs the active Social Cognition Laboratory at Northwestern University, where he mentors students and collaborates with researchers to advance understanding of how people perceive, judge, and interact with others in social contexts.
