Biography
Joshua Correll joined the faculty of the University of Chicago in 2005. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Colorado at Boulder and his M.A. from the University of Waterloo. Generally, his work involves intergroup relations, stereotyping and prejudice. His primary line of research uses a videogame-like simulation of a police encounter to examine bias in shoot/don't-shoot decisions.
Research Interests
Racial bias in the decision to shoot
- To what extent does this bias reflect stereotypic associations between Black people and danger?
- Can training moderate or eliminate this effect and, if so, how?
Intergroup conflict and conflict over scarce resources
The psychological value of group membership
