Current Research: David L. Hamilton

Dr. Hamilton's current research focuses on a variety of issues pertaining to the perception of individuals and groups. Thus work investigates how perceivers process and use social information as they form impressions of others, develop conceptions of groups, and make judgments about individual and group targets. His research is particularly focused on perceptions of the "groupness" of groups, or entitativity, the perception of group essentialism, and the relation of these constructs to the formation and use of group stereotypes.
