Research Assistant - Faculty of Psychology

The Faculty of Psychology at SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Poznań invites applications for the position of Research Assistant (4-year scholarship) to assist in ‘Mindfulness as an intervention reducing retaliatory aggression among collective narcissists' research project, led by Doctor Agnieszka Golec de Zavala. Place of work: Poznań, Poland.

RESEARCH PROJECT:

The project investigates how collective narcissists react to intergroup exclusion and marginalization of their own group. Their physiological, neuronal and self-reported reactions, while witnessing intergroup exclusion, are examined as mediators of their behavioural reactions. We examine whether the distress in the face of exclusion can be reduced by mindfulness. The project is conducted at Laboratorium Psychologii Uprzedzeń i Agresji Międzygrupowej (Laboratory of Psychology of Intergroup Prejudice and Aggression) at SWPS University in Poznań in collaboration with the Virginia Commonwealth University in the United States and Southampton University in the UK.
