YSU’s Department of Psychological Sciences and Counseling hosts lecturer Xian Zhao

Youngstown State University’s Department of Psychological Sciences and Counseling program is holding its Spring 2025 Colloquium from 2 - 3 p.m. March 28.

The colloquium will include a lecture from Xian Zhao, an assistant professor of Psychology at Ohio University. The lecture is titled “Common Subgroup Identity Model for Promoting Intergroup Relations.”

To be held in Room 132 of Debartolo Hall, the colloquium will cover the Common Subgroup Identity Model, a new method for understanding intergroup relations. This theoretical framework is intended to find mechanisms that reduce intergroup conflicts and foster cooperative interactions in culturally diverse and globalized settings.
