The group's lines of research include:
- Psychosocial analysis of inequality.
- Psychosocial variables that predict the perception of economic inequality, tolerance toward it, and motivation to reduce it.
- Psychosocial consequences of economic inequality, as well as processes related to other forms of inequality beyond the economic sphere, such as social power, prejudice and dehumanization.
- Psychosocial consequences of social class and economic crisis.
- Cognitive, emotional, motivational and behavioural consequences of belonging to a certain social class or being affected by an economic crisis (e.g., COVID-19).
- Role of attributions, ideologies, trust, and dehumanization processes.
- Psychology of social change.
- Intergroup processes of social change from the perspective of disadvantaged groups, such as women, LGBTQ+ people, and migrants, as well as advantaged groups, such as men, heterosexuals, and native-born populations.
- Processes of cooperation between these groups as potential allies, depending on psychosocial variables such as group identity, motivations, and perceived control.
- Discrimination and violence against women, including the importance of different ideological and situational variables in both social perception and the occurrence of different forms of violence and discrimination against women, not only in their traditional forms but also in subtle and emerging forms linked to new technologies.
- Social psychology and gender, including the relevance of psychosocial variables that generate and sustain the various forms of discrimination and violence against women in the interpersonal, workplace, and broader social contexts, as well as their impact on women's well-being and full development.
