Dave Hamilton
Dr. Hamilton is interested in social cognition and studies how we process information about individuals and groups. His research focuses on: (1) Perceptions of entitativity in social groups; (2) Stereotypes: how cognitive processes influence the development and maintenance of stereotypes; (3) Impression Formation: how we develop and use impressions of others; and (4) Attribution: how and when causal attributions are made.
