Michael Inzlicht is professor of psychology at the University of Toronto recognized in the areas of social psychology and neuroscience. Although he has published papers on the topics of prejudice, academic performance, and religion, his most recent interests have been in the topics of self-control, where he borrows methods from affective and cognitive neuroscience to understand the underlying nature of self-control, including how it is driven by motivation〔(Professional Profile: Michael Inzlicht ).〕 In the early 2000s, Inzlicht and his colleagues demonstrated that small, seemingly benign characteristics of an environment could play a large role in determining how stereotyped groups perform on academic tests. They found, for example, that the number of men in a small group could determine whether women succeeded (fewer men) or failed (more men) a math test.〔(APA Online: College women underperform on tests when in the minority. )〕 More recently, Michael has primarily focused on improving our understanding of self-control and the related concepts of cognitive control and executive function (mental processes that allow behavior to vary adaptively depending on current goals). Much of his work explores the building blocks of control, including its neural, cognitive, emotional, and motivational foundations. At the same time—and at a different level of analysis—he also explores the various ways that self-control can be influenced by various cultural and situational factors, including mindfulness meditation, quality of motivation, religious belief, and stigmatization. Another feature of Michael's work is that he takes a social affective neuroscience approach to address questions of interest. Thus, he combines neuroimaging, cognitive reaction time, physiological, and behavioral techniques to understand and explain social behaviour. This interdisciplinary approach provides a fuller, more integrated understanding of social behavior, emotion, and the brain. == Selected Awards & Honours== * 2015 - Wegner Theoretical Innovation Prize, Society for Personality and Social Psychology * 2015 - Principal's Research Award, University of Toronto Scarborough * 2013 - 2012 Best Social Cognition Paper Award, International Society for Social Cognition * 2013 - Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science * 2013 - Fellow of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology * 2009 - Early Researcher Award, Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation * 2006 - Louise Kidder Early Career Award, American Psychological Association (Division 9) * 2004-2006 - Fellow of the National Academy of Education/Spencer Foundation * 2002 - Society for Experimental Social Psychology, Dissertation Award, finalist * 1999 - Student Research Competition, American Psychological Society 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michael Inzlicht」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
