Identification
with All Humanity Lab

We are an international research team of social, political, cognitive, personality and cross-cultural psychologists working on topics related to identification with all humanity, its psychological antecedents and social consequences (see more in "about IWAH").
 
Our mission is not only research, but also sharing knowledge about global human identification, the ways of developing and enlarging it, and possibly applying psychological insights to real-world problems such as prejudice, dehumanization, hate crimes, exclusion, discrimination etc. Our goals include applying research results to enhancing international cooperation in solving global problems, peace building, and enhancing human rights orientation.
