Manos Tsakiris

Manos Tsakiris is a professor of psychology at Royal Holloway, University of London, and also holds an appointment at the Centre for the Politics of Feelings, School of Advanced Study, University of London. Tsakiris works on the psychological and neurocognitive bases of bodily self-awareness, interoception, and self-identity, with ongoing research into how bodily and emotional processes shape political attitudes, ideological reasoning, and responses to out-groups. Recent work has examined future anxiety and political attitudes among young people, the visual dehumanization of refugees, and the role of cardiac and respiratory interoceptive signals in cognition and social judgment. Tsakiris has also published on the multisensory foundations of self-representation, the relationship between body ownership and implicit social attitudes, and individual differences in interoceptive accuracy across development and clinical populations.
