Psychology in Political and Economic SYSTEMS (PIPES) Lab

The Psychology in Political & Economic Systems (PIPES) Lab contributes to emerging efforts in the behavioral sciences to examine how forces at the societal level, such as political polarization, market integration, and economic inequality both reflect and shape individual psychological functioning. The work of the PIPES Lab draws on theories and methods from social and political psychology, behavioral ecology, and related natural and social sciences, to investigate why people think, vote, and behave the way they do, and reveal subjective consequences of social policies and societal change. The lab’s multi-pronged research program examines how psychological processes are shaped by and influence societal conditions. The program is organized along three work streams, each currently containing five broad projects.
