Monica V. Weedman, Ph.D.

My research investigates how identity and ideology shape thought, emotion, and behavior in intergroup contexts, with a particular interest in understanding why members of systemically advantaged groups might be motivated to dispute evidence of inequality and resist efforts to reduce it. Additional areas of research interest include political psychology, psychology of religion, and social decision-making. 

As a PhD candidate in the Department of Psychology & Neuroscience at Baylor University, I conducted research under the guidance of Dr. Jo-Ann Tsang. 

Prior to my time at Baylor University, I received my B.S. in Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin where I was a member of the Self-Regulation Lab as a research assistant under the mentorship of Dr. Jennifer Beer.
