Congratulations to Yarrow Dunham, who has been selected to receive the Arthur Greer Memorial Prize for Outstanding Scholarly Publication or Research. This high honor is awarded by Yale University in recognition of Yarrow’s research on intergroup social cognition, examining how and why humans come to affiliate with groups, and whether understanding group preferences can provide insight into how children develop intergroup attitudes and stereotypes. As director of the Social Cognitive Development Lab, Professor Dunham has advanced new revelations into how children’s minds work, how they come to understand hierarchies and fairness, and how they interpret the world around them.
