Jonathan Mohr
- SPN Mentor
Jon Mohr's research focuses on manifestations and consequences of prejudice, discrimination, and stereotyping, as well as factors associated with positive adjustment in members of stigmatized groups. Most of his work examines these issues as they relate to sexual orientation, but he also has interests in how these issues relate to race, ethnicity, gender, disability, and other sociocultural categories.
His current projects fall in the following areas: (1) everyday experiences of lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals, with a focus on identity salient events; (2) role of identity in the behavior, perceptions, and adjustment of LGB individuals and same-sex couples; (3) perceived institutional climate for diversity, including institution-level factors related to perceptions; and (4) attitudes and stereotypes among mental health professionals.

- Applied Social Psychology
