Vukašin Gligorić is a Political and Social Psychologist working as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Psychology at NYU Abu Dhabi. His research examines political ideology and related belief systems (such as religious or conspiracy worldviews, perceptions of science and scientists), as well as intra- and intergroup relations (such as stereotypes and prejudice). He is particularly interested in how overarching societal structures — such as neocolonialism and neoliberalism — shape these psychological and social processes. To address these questions, Gligorić draws on broader frameworks including world-systems theory, decoloniality, and neo-Marxist approaches, often through large-scale cross-country studies. He received his BSc from the University of Belgrade (Serbia) and his MSc and PhD from the University of Amsterdam (Netherlands).
Gligorić's work has been published in journals such as Nature Human Behavior, Social Psychological and Personality Science, and the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology.
