Richard Ober

Richard Ober is an American social psychologist known for his research on stereotyping, prejudice, and social perception. He explores how biases affect people's judgments and interactions, often examining implicit biases—automatic attitudes that people may not be consciously aware of. His work helps us understand the underlying mental processes that contribute to social inequalities and discriminatory behavior. By studying these patterns, Ober aims to promote greater awareness and foster more equitable interactions across different social groups. His research is influential in fields like social psychology, diversity training, and efforts to reduce bias.
