Biography

Yeonju is a third-year PhD Student at the Institute of Child Development working with Dr. Melissa Koenig and Dr. Charisse Pickron. Yeonju is interested in children's intergroup social cognition, specifically in how children learn about other groups of people and form biased beliefs about them. Currently Yeonju is working on a project looking into how different forms of negative parental testimony towards a novel social group can affect 4-to-7-year-old children's judgment towards members of the group.
