Perspective Taking in Groups to Reduce Prejudice

Sima Wolgast (PI) and Eva Hoff run the project, which analyses different short term interventions to increase perspective taking, empathy, psychological flexibility and compassion in participants. In the long run, aim to develop prejudice reduction interventions inspired by therapeutic methods, such as ACT (Act and Committment Therapy) and CFT (Compassion Focused Therapy). Study results indicate that short interventions (45+45 minutes) have effect on perspective taking ability, compassion, psychological flexibility and stigmatizing thoughts.
