Dr. Michael Rosander is Associate Professor of Psychology. His main research interests are groups in all forms and sizes - processes within and between groups from small workgroups to crowds - and how the individual is affected by being part of or identifying with a group or a social category. In his research, he has for example studied crowds at demonstrations and sporting events, parent groups in primary care, joint incident commands in connection to accidents, and PBL groups.

When we identify with groups and social categories we also get a set of norms that influence and frame our behaviour. When we categorize others as part of groups it affects what we perceive. Groups affect us a great deal most of the time.
