Enhancing Agency through Victimsed Groups’ Own Cognitive and Affective Resources

Restoring agency is one of the chief psychological needs following the victimisation of one’s group. The objective of this research agenda is to investigate novel ways to utilise victim groups’ own cognitive and affective resources to enhance their agency. The programme of research will be conducted mainly through experimental (but also some qualitative) work. This research will employ theories and empirical paradigms based on Applied Social Psychology, Experimental Cognitive Psychology, and Political Psychology. Candidates with research experiences with real-life groups, designing experiments with behavioural indices, and programming are particularly encouraged to apply.
