PhD Student

Arti’s research interests are in individual differences and how they are related to intergroup relations. More specifically, she is interested in why people have different emotional reactions to different outgroups, i.e. feeling threatened, anxious or empathetic. Arti’s PhD research is aiming to look at the role of emotional intelligence in this phenomenon by investigating how emotion management and regulation might impact intergroup emotions and behaviour.
