Dr. Jaihyun Park is a professor in the psychology department at Baruch College. He received his BA from Seoul National University in Seoul, Korea, and MS and PhD in social psychology from Yale University. After receiving his PhD in 1998, Dr. Park worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the National Institute of Health. He joined the psychology department at Baruch in August 2001.
Dr. Park has been interested in several research areas in social psychology. Among others, he has conducted a program of research on (a) stereotyping and prejudice, (b) jury decision-making, and (c) cultural psychology. More specifically, Dr. Park’s research has investigated the mental process and representations that affect social judgment and behavior, with a focus on the implicit or unconscious ways in which social category information influences human judgment and behavior. He has also conducted research on psychological and situational factors that may affect jurors’ legal decision making. Specifically, he has examined the ways in which visual evidence influences jurors’ legal judgments. He has recently become interested in the Korean jury system, which was implemented for the first time in its history. Lastly, he has also explored the impact of culture on shaping the self and characterizing its behavior. He has actively been working with graduate and undergraduate students on research projects across all his three research interests.
Dr. Park has been teaching undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral level courses on social psychology, psychology and law, psychology and culture, statistics, psychometrics, and research methods.
