PhD candidate in Development of ethnic prejudice
4 weken geleden
The Department of Developmental Psychology and Clinical Child and Family Studies has a job opening for a PhD candidate who is interested in the development of ethnic prejudice and how to prevent ethnic discrimination early in life. In this PhD position you will explore these questions using state-of-the-art virtual reality experiments.
Wat ga je doen?
Ethnic discrimination can harm children’s well-being. Research to date, however, has assessed children’s ethnic biases using methods with limited ecological validity (e.g., self-report): children were explicitly asked about their cognitions and behaviours towards ethnic minorities, while real-life ethnic biases may often occur automatically and influence children’s behaviour unknowingly. In this PhD project we will address this gap by conducting ecologically valid, controlled experiments in VR to test how children’s (4-12 years) basic affective processes and deliberate cognitions shape their behaviour towards ethnic minorities. This research advances the field by revealing how and when children’s ethnic biases manifest in social interactions and may be most effectively overcome.
This PhD project is supervised by , (both at the Department of Developmental Psychology) and (Clinical Child and Family Studies).
Your tasks include:
developing and conducting cutting-edge scientific experiments; analysing data (using R/SPSS, etc.); writing scientific articles for publication in international scientific peer-reviewed journals; presenting research findings at national and international conferences;You are also responsible for all aspects of data collection (such as recruiting participants and conducting research at schools or the ).
