Nava Caluori

I am an Assistant Professor of Social Psychology in the Psychology of Peace and Violence Program at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

I study the intersection of culture, religious beliefs, and intergroup attitudes. My work examines the influence of phenomena such as globalization and ecological threats on individuals’ belief systems and how those beliefs, in turn, can promote conflict and cooperation.

I use a multi-method approach to examine these questions among international samples, to investigate patterns of cultural change over time, and to address causality experimentally in lab settings.
