Welcome H. Annie Vu! New Ph.D. Student starts Fall 2019
H. Annie Vu
M.S. in Psychology candidate, University of Louisiana at Lafayette
Annie seeks to further explore (1) how different implicit and explicit self-concepts such as identities, self-worth, self-esteem, self-transcendence, and self-compassion affect a person’s tendency toward prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination; (2) different methodologies and measures to capture those concepts; (3) how influences on these cognitive concepts could exacerbate or reduce biases and expression of those biases; and (4) what interventions could be created and implemented to reconcile interpersonal and intergroup conflicts.
