Arvin Jagayat joined the SPP Lab in the fall of 2015, after completing his Specialized Honours BSc in Psychology at York University. Broadly, his research focuses on intergroup attitudes and political behaviour in online contexts. Arvin is interested in investigating how the design elements of Internet- and technology-enabled social spaces impact our attitudes and interactions; as well as how they can be modified to promote more positive social outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His SSHRC-funded Master\u2019s thesis looked at identifying the ideological and threat-based predictors of support for and engagement in cyber-violence against women and girls (Jagayat & Choma, 2021). Arvin\u2019s PhD dissertation evaluated whether impression management processes can be leveraged to reduce the sharing of false news on social media. In the process of doing this, Arvin led a team to develop a new way to experimentally test design changes to and collect detailed behavioural data on social media in ecologically-valid contexts.
