Ya Hui Michelle See
Fellowship year
2024-25 - National University of Singapore
Michelle See will spend her year at CASBS examining the influence of message tailoring on the effectiveness of persuasion and interventions for the improvement of intergroup relations. She will consider how psychological processes within the individual interact with broader political, cultural, and historical contexts to influence receptivity or resistance to solutions that are intended to promote positivity between groups. This work will yield insights on our theoretical understanding of the tailoring of messages and interventions by integrating perspectives from various disciplines including psychology, political science, and sociology. It will also inform policy-making for addressing prejudice and polarization.
See is an associate professor of social psychology at the National University of Singapore, where she directs the Group for Persuasion and Evaluative Processes (GPEP). She has published research on intrapersonal, interpersonal, intergroup, and cultural factors in attitudes and persuasion. Her research has been cited in handbooks for scholars in social psychology and consumer psychology, as well as social psychology textbooks for undergraduate- and graduate-level courses. Her research has been funded by the Singapore Ministry of Education, Singapore Prime Minister's Office, and the USA Air Force Office of Scientific Research. See is a Fellow of the Society of Experimental Social Psychology (SESP). She is a National University of Singapore Fellow for 2024-25.
