Stephanie L. Reeves

Stephanie L. Reeves studies social and educational psychology, focusing on how psychological interventions—such as self-affirmation, identity-safety programs, and purpose-based interventions—affect students from stereotyped or disadvantaged groups. Her work also examines how well-intentioned responses like empathy and compassion can sometimes unintentionally create perceptions of incompetence (a pattern she describes as paternalism), particularly in educational and interracial feedback settings.

Publication output has been modest but fairly steady over the last decade, averaging just over one paper per year with a small uptick in 2023.
