Me.png

Nicholas P. Alt

I am an Assistant Professor at Occidental College in the Department of Psychology. I received my Ph.D. in Social Psychology from UCLA, an M.A. in Experimental Psychology from the College of William & Mary, and my B.A. from Wesleyan University. My academic research spans the areas of social psychology, cognitive psychology, and vision science. I utilize a multi-method approach to examine our rapid visual perception of people (both individuals and groups) and the social judgments we make when we see others. Additionally, I am interested in processes and outcomes associated with prejudice and discrimination (e.g., confronting bias, health disparities). I'm an avid Marvel Comics and tennis fan.
