Alex Haslam is Professor of Social and Organizational Psychology at the University of Exeter and a former Commonwealth Scholar at Macquarie University (Sydney) and Jones Scholar at Emory University (Atlanta). He is a former Associate Editor of the British Journal of Social Psychology (1999-2001) and Chief Editor of the European Journal of Social Psychology (2001-2005). He is currently on the editorial board of eight journals (including EJSP, PSPB, BJM, JPSP and Scientific American Mind).
At Exeter he is part of a team of internationally-renown researchers who conduct theory-driven research into a range of core social and organizational topics, including leadership, motivation, stereotyping, group conflict, stress and prejudice. His work in this team is also informed by close collaborations with colleagues in Australia, Europe and North America.
In 2005 he received a Kurt Lewin award from the European Association of Experimental Social Psychology for outstanding contribution to research in social psychology. In 2006 he was made a fellow of the Canadian Institute of Advanced Research.
Current research:
(1) Psychology in organizations. This looks at social identity processes in leadership, motivation, communication, decision-making, negotiation, productivity, collective action and stress.
(2) The social psychology of stereotyping, prejudice and tyranny. This explores issues of social categorization, social cognition and intergroup relations. Programmatic work deals specifically with topics of stereotype consensus, perceived group homogeneity, and extremism.
(3) Research methodology. This addresses aspects of the research process that pertain to psychological enquiry. Published work focuses on issues of research design, ethics, and uncertainty management.
