Michael R Andreychik, PhD
About
Michael R. Andreychik, PhD is a social psychologist whose research centers on social cognition, intergroup attitudes, and the ways people explain the behavior and circumstances of others. His published work explores how lay theories and explanatory styles shape moral judgment, compassion, and responses to outgroup members, with particular attention to how attributions of internal versus external causation influence bias and blame.
His peer-reviewed publications appear in journals including Nature, Nature Human Behaviour, Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, and PLOS ONE. Among his recent work are studies on the replicability of social and behavioral science findings, the cross-linguistic consistency of semantic priming, and the relationship between historical consciousness and humane responses to others' transgressions. He has also contributed to large-scale international research on models of social perception and the conditions under which external explanations foster or fail to foster prosocial intergroup attitudes.
His expertise in social cognition, attitude measurement, and the psychological underpinnings of moral and intergroup judgment positions him to address questions in matters involving bias, discrimination, and the social and behavioral factors that influence human decision-making.
