Research interests:  
 My first research interest was on intergroup relations and the infra-humanization of social outgroups. More specifically, with a group of international colleagues we hypothesized and found that people subtly  differentiate their ingroups from outgroups by attributing to themselves more uniquely-human attributes than they attribute to others. Doing so, they deprive others from essential qualities inherent to the human nature. In this context, I familiarized myself with and got interested in theories of essentialism and entitativity. More recently, I developed another line of research that focuses on negotiation processes. The social psychology literature on negotiation, and more specifically, intergroup negotiation is almost inexistent. This lack of interest is surprising given the fact that, in many domains, groups have been shown to work differently than individuals. My interest, therefore, is on intergroup negotiation, intergroup emotions in negotiation, and the process of negotiator’s choice in intergroup negotiation.
