Professor Sutton is interested in the social psychology of justice and (in)equality.<\/p>\n
\n
Just-world beliefs<\/strong> \nThese refer to the extent to which people believe they, and others, receive the\u00a0 treatment and life outcomes they deserve. \u00a0These are related to psychological health, functioning, and a raft of social attitudes (for more information, see Hafer & Sutton, 2014; Sutton & Douglas, 2005; Sutton & Winnard, 2007; Sutton et al., 2008; Wu et al., 2013).<\/li>\n
Gender, sexism and inequality \n<\/strong>Professor Sutton has studied several aspects of gender inequality, including gendered fear of crime (Sutton & Farrall, 2005, 2008; Sutton, Robinson & Farrall, 2011), sexist intrusions on the autonomy of women during pregnancy (Murphy et al., 2011; Sutton, Douglas, & McClellan, 2011), and gender inequality in educational attainment (Hartley & Sutton, 2013).<\/li>\n
Conspiracy beliefs<\/strong> \nProfessor Sutton collaborates with Karen Douglas on conspiracy belief (see Douglas & Sutton, 2008, 2011, Sutton & Douglas, 2014). \u00a0Their work examines the psychological mechanisms that cause people to entertain such beliefs.<\/li>\n
Immanent justice reasoning<\/strong> \nProfessor Sutton collaborates with Mitch Callan (University of Essex) on why \u00a0people tend to perceive that a person’s misfortune must be attributable to some prior misdeed of theirs, even when the two cannot be related (Callan et al., 2010, 2013, 2014).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
