Cognition in Collectives Lab
We are a group of psychologists at Princeton University led by Dr. Alin Coman
OUR APPROACH
The Cognition in Collectives Lab investigates how cognition manifests in, and is influenced by, the social contexts in which it occurs. Using a social-interactionist approach, we investigate how processes carried out by the cognitive system impact outcomes that characterize communities of individuals: from small groups to larger social networks. We focus on understanding the formation of collective memories, the dynamics of collective beliefs, and the synchronization of collective emotions as psychologically grounded, interactively constructed, and dynamic phenomena.
