Adriana Germano investigates intergroup relations within organizations and society. Using experimental methods and observational datasets, she conducts rigorous research aimed at understanding how default features of our cultural environments (e.g., the well-regarded U.S. value of individualism) shape group dynamics and outcomes. Her research provides novel insights into how and why intergroup relations flounder and explores cultural strategies to promote positive group relations. Prior to joining Yale, Adriana was a Post-Doctoral Research Scholar at Columbia Business School and earned her Ph.D. in (Social) Psychology from the University of Washington.
Adriana’s research has been published in leading journals such as Psychological Science and the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. In recognition of her achievements and scholarship, Adriana was awarded the SAGE Emerging Scholar Award and the Heritage Dissertation Award from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology.
