Pascal Huguet
I'm Director of Research in the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) at Aix-Marseille University, and head of the Brain, Behaviour and Cognition Institute (http://federation3c.com), a research centre associated with the CNRS at the interface of life and human sciences. I'm also head of the research team "Cognition and Social Context" within the Cognitive Psychology Laboratory—one of the three research units of the Institute.
My research focuses on the social regulation of cognitive functioning, with a special interest for social presence effects in human and nonhuman primates, social comparison and group processes, and social stereotyping.
Nominated fellow of the Society for Experimental Social Psychology (SESP) and American Psychological Association (APS), I've published 100 scientific publications (60 articles, 40 book chapters and books), and given a hundred lectures at international conferences. In the past ten years, I've been serving as Editor of International Review of Social Psychology, Associate Editor of the European Journal of Social Psychology, member of several ethical committees of the CNRS (Ethical Committee in Life Sciences/2003-05; CNRS COMETS general Ethical Committee/2005-07), member of the evaluative committee of the CNRS (Section 27: Behaviour, Cognition, Brain during 8 consecutive years 2004-2012), and also worked for the European Commission, FP7-Science in Society, on gender equality. Recently, I've been elected to the Executive Committee of the International Union of Psychological Sciences (IUPSYS), representing more than half a million psychologists from every region of the world (81 nations represented in the General Assembly for this particular election):
