Laura K. Taylor studies how children and young people develop social identities, prejudice, and prosocial behavior, especially in societies affected by conflict, migration, or religious and ethnic division. Her work combines developmental psychology methods (surveys, GPS tracking, longitudinal studies) to understand intergroup contact, allyship, and children's helping behavior across countries such as the UK, and post-conflict and multi-religious settings.
