Jim Sidanius

Jim Sidanius is a prominent social psychologist known for his research on social hierarchy and intergroup relations. He developed the Social Dominance Theory, which explores how societies organize into hierarchies based on group dominance. This theory examines power dynamics, prejudice, and discrimination among different social, racial, and ethnic groups. Sidanius suggests that understanding these hierarchies is crucial for addressing issues of inequality and social justice. His work has significant implications for psychology, sociology, and political science, offering insights into how power structures impact individual and group behavior in society.
