Mauro Bianchi is an Associate Professor in the Department of Life Sciences at the University of Trieste. His research focuses on social psychology, particularly intergroup relations, stereotyping, and prejudice. He has published extensively on topics including sexual orientation stereotyping, immigration attitudes, and the psychological effects of derogatory language. Dr. Bianchi's research interests span several interconnected domains within social psychology. He investigates how social categories intersect to shape perceptions and attitudes, particularly examining how sexual orientation, race, and age interact in stereotype formation. A significant portion of his work explores the psychological mechanisms behind intergroup bias, including how language (particularly derogatory labels) functions as a tool of social disempowerment. He also examines how imagined or actual intergroup contact can reduce prejudice, with applications to immigration contexts and LGBTQ+ issues. His research often employs experimental methodologies across diverse cultural settings, including cross-national studies in Europe. Dr. Bianchi's work shows consistent thematic development across his publications, with increasing focus on intersectional approaches to understanding social bias. His recent publications demonstrate growing interest in the cognitive mechanisms underlying stereotype formation and the practical applications of intergroup contact theory for reducing prejudice in digital and physical spaces. Among his notable contributions are studies on how different labels for immigrants ("migrants," "asylum seekers," "refugees") influence public attitudes, research on the invisibility of older gay men within social categories, and investigations into how racial categories lead to stereotypical inferences about sexual orientation. Dr. Bianchi collaborates extensively with colleagues across institutions, particularly with Andrea Carnaghi, with whom he has co-authored numerous publications. His research has practical implications for addressing prejudice in educational settings, healthcare contexts, and immigration policy.
