Group for Persuasion and Evaluative Processes (GPEP)
Current Members
Noorfaadhilah ABDUL HALIL KHAN (M. Soc. Sci. student)
Faadhilah's main research interest is in what causes people to perceive their attitudes to be based on their cognitions or their feelings. Specifically, her research looks at how the psychological function of having a certain attitude (e.g., holding an attitude to gain social acceptance) could affect one's perceptions of the affective versus cognitive basis of their attitude.

Binhui WANG (M. Soc. Sci. student)
Binhui is passionate about understanding discrimination and its emotional consequences. Specifically, she is interested in how people’s devalued intersectional identities create unique forms of discrimination and how people cope with the negative emotional consequences by applying the most appropriate coping strategies.

Ivy CHENG (Lab affiliate)
Ivy is particularly fascinated with the impact of social situations and environments on people's behaviors, especially when such influences are implicit in nature. Her main research interest lies in intergroup relations and persuasion. She is also interested in the social influences of people’s health-related attitudes and behaviours.

Ann-Marie Qing Hui NG (B. Soc. Sci. (Hons) student)
Ann-Marie is looking into how prior levels of defensive confidence can affect attitude change when presented with a persuasive message, considering the matching or mismatching of individual attitudinal bases with the message (bases at the object level).
