Inga Jasinskaja-Lahti

Inga Jasinskaja-Lahti is a Professor of Social Psychology at the University of Helsinki, where she has held that position since 2012 and completed her doctoral training. Jasinskaja-Lahti's research spans intergroup relations, prejudice reduction, and the social psychology of immigration, including work on immigrant identity, second-generation adaptation, and collective psychological ownership. Much of this work examines how majority and minority groups negotiate belonging, territory, and trust, with recent projects employing virtual reality methods to study intergroup contact and neural responses to outgroup members. Jasinskaja-Lahti has also contributed to cross-national research on topics including attitudes toward religious minorities, responses to disinformation, and the psychological dimensions of conflict.
