About Us
This website is a service of Social Psychology Network and was first developed at Wesleyan University in 2002 with funding from the National Science Foundation, American Psychological Association, and McGraw-Hill.
The purpose of the site is to offer educational resources on prejudice, discrimination, and diversity with the ultimate goal of reducing intolerance and bias. All features of the site are freely available to teachers, students, and other visitors.

Site Credits
This site was originally created by Professor Scott Plous, co-designed with Mike Lestik, and programmed by David Jensenius and Steve Farthing. It also benefited from the talents of several dozen student interns.
In 2025, the site was fully redesigned and updated by Scott Plous, Christine Kozin, Pragathi Ilango, and six highly dedicated student interns: Max Marinelli, Alexandra Simon, Ember Szaflarski, Ariana Topper-Kroog, Raissa Fernandes, and Ama Agyeman Tuffour.
In addition, thanks are due to several researchers and other professionals who contributed to the site, including Peter Glick, Susan Fiske, Brian Nosek, Tony Greenwald, Mahzarin Banaji, and Jay Rosenstein.
