MohammadHasan (Hasan) Sharifian

PhD Candidate in Social Psychology, University of Michigan

Welcome to my personal website! I’m Hasan, a PhD candidate in social psychology at the University of Michigan. My research broadly examines the interaction between culture and group processes.

In cultural psychology, I study cognitive styles, emotion expression, and self-enhancement motivation using cross-cultural comparisons, including Middle Eastern, Western, and East Asian samples.

In group processes and intergroup relations, I examine how cultural values such as honor and interdependence interact with broader sociopolitical values to shape intergroup cooperation and conflict across levels of analysis.
