Additional Information:

Dr. Mohr’s research focuses on manifestations and consequences of prejudice, discrimination, and stereotyping, as well as factors associated with positive adjustment in members of stigmatized groups. Most of his work examines these issues as they relate to sexual orientation, but he also has interests in how these issues related to race, ethnicity, gender, disability, and other sociocultural categories. Another strand of his work explores the experiences of “majority group” members: those whose identity in a certain realm is not stigmatized.
