Greg Walton: A Question of Belonging

As a social psychologist Professor Walton is committed to identifying psychological processes that contribute to social problems and to developing theory-based interventions to affect these processes. His research examines diverse contexts, including education, health, intergroup relations, politics, and the environment using both laboratory and field-experimentation. This research simultaneously advances psychological theory, demonstrates the importance of psychological processes in major social problems, and suggests novel remedies to these problems.
