John Dovidio, Carl I. Hovland Professor at Yale University, investigates social power and relations, focusing on explicit and implicit biases towards different groups. A core contribution is the extensive study of aversive racism, a subtle form of contemporary prejudice, and the common in-group identity model that has been influential on the field. His research also addresses methods to reduce bias and the impact of stigma and provider bias on health care outcomes.
