Eliot R. Smith, PhD
Professor of Psychology and Cognitive Science at Indiana University, Bloomington
Dr. Smith’s publications pioneered the application of connectionist models to phenomena within the field of social psychology, such as the learning and application of stereotypes and the flexible construction of the self-concept. He is currently exploring the use of multi-agent models as a theory-building tool to explore dynamic, interactive effects of individual decision processes and the social environments that pervasively influence individuals. Dr. Smith is also interested in the situated/embodied cognition perspective, particularly emphasizing the role of the social and interpersonal environment as a key context for behavior. His notable theoretical and empirical contributions to other areas of social psychology include investigations of the role of emotion in prejudice and intergroup conflict, and of the nonconscious effects of past experiences on social judgments and decisions. A Fellow of the American Psychological Association and the American Psychological Society, Dr. Smith has been the recipient of numerous grants and other awards, and he was recently named the winner of the 2004 Thomas M. Ostrom Award for contributions to social cognition. He is currently editor of Personality and Social Psychology Review.
