Julia Elad-Strenger, PhD

Political Psychologist

I am a lecturer (U.S. assistant professor) at the department of Political Studies, Bar Ilan University, Israel.
My research focuses on the psychology of political ideology and on the role of group processes, group norms and social identity concerns in shaping political attitudes and policy preferences, particularly in the context of intergroup conflict. My research integrates psychological and political scholarship and methodology, employs a broad range of quantitative methodologies, from large N-surveys to lab experiments, and includes comparative analyses in the Middle Eastern, Western-European and US contexts.
