Lope Tejero Peregrina

Biography

I am a PhD student in the Department of Social Psychology at the University of Granada. In my dissertation, supervised by Rosa Rodríguez Bailón and Guillermo B. Willis, and in collaboration with Ángel Sánchez-Rodríguez, we examine the antecedents of meritocratic beliefs and their effects on attitudes toward inequality. My line of research aims to understand the psychological mechanisms behind adherence to meritocracy, as well as the psychosocial consequences of these beliefs in shaping how people perceive, justify, and accept economic inequality.

In addition, I have taught courses at the Faculty of Labour Relations and Human Resources and at the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Granada.

Main interests

  • Antecedents and consequences of meritocratic beliefs.
  • Psychosocial consequences of economic inequality.
  • Processes of normative influence.
  • Cultural psychology of inequality.
