Prof Greg Maio - BSc York MA PhD Western Ontario
Research in my lab examines social values and attitudes. Some experiments look at the psychological nature of values and attitudes; other experiments look at interventions that change values and attitudes, and additional experiments look at the effects of values and attitudes on behaviour. These experiments often focus on important social issues, such as prejudice, discrimination, stereotypes, forgiveness in relationships, unhealthy lifestyles, charity, and behaviours that threaten the environment.
