Dr. Christa Nater
Social & Organizational Psychologist

In my research, I examine mechanisms that contribute to persisting social inequalities. Specifically, my recent research advances the understanding of origins and consequences of gender stereotypes and biases in organizations and society.

​

I adopt an interdisciplinary perspective, combining psychology, organizational behavior, management, and sociology theories. To this end, I use a multimethod approach with quantitative (e.g., experiments, meta-analysis, physiological measures) and qualitative methods (e.g., behavioral coding).

​

Mirroring my aspirations and goals as a scholar, my research has been well received by the scientific community and the public alike, as evidenced by multiple research grants, scientific awards, and regular invitations for outreach talks and knowledge transfers.

​

I pursued my Ph.D. in Psychology at the University of Bern and New York University and received my degree in December 2019 from the University of Bern.
