Justice, Ideology, and Authoritarianism (JIDA) Lab

Principal Investigator: Ben Saunders, PhD


In examining how people reason about justice and fairness, our research is grounded in two basic questions: (1) How might prejudice and discriminatory behavior result from facets of one's personality, and (2) Why is it that people seem to support current social and political conditions when eschewing those conditions would better serve their self-interests?
