Social Identity and System Justification on Vaccine Hesitancy

We aim to use social identity theory and system justification theory to understand the underlying mechanisms of national identity, political ideology, system justification, and trust in relation to vaccine hesitancy in the US, the Philippines, and China.

Co-investigator:
