Minjae Seo

Minjae Seo, a Martin Fishbein postdoctoral researcher with joint appointments at the Annenberg Public Policy Center, the Annenberg School for Communication, and the Department of Psychology in the School of Arts and Sciences, works in the University of Pennsylvania's Social Action Lab. She studies the impacts of socio-cultural diversity on people’s attitudes and behaviors within relationships and across groups. She is especially interested in cross-cultural differences and intercultural interactions. Specifically, her work encompasses (1) exploring intercultural communication and interactions within close relationships, (2) examining intergroup relations and the catalysts behind conflict or cooperation, and (3) investigating cultural differences in prosocial judgments and cooperative behaviors. By delving into both cross-cultural distinctions and intercultural relationships, she seeks to contribute to knowledge that facilitates intergroup and interpersonal communication and cooperation across cultures. She received her Ph.D. in Social Psychology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2024.
