Throughout his research and academic career, he has been focused almost exclusively on psychology of religion. With his students and collaborators, he has developed an important research program on religion and prejudice that advanced much further, both theoretically and methodologically (types, predictors, underlying mechanisms, and religious forms of religious prejudice; both implicit and explicit measures; both experimental and survey research), our knowledge on a topic that is both classic for the field and socially important today. He has also past and ongoing work on the psychology of humility.

Patty received her PhD in Social Psychology from Universit\u00e9 catholique de Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, in 2012 under the supervision of Vassilis Saroglou.

She is now Associate Director of the Interdisciplinary Behavioral Research Center at Duke University.<\/p>\n

Dr. Patty Van Cappellen was selected because she has consistently performed original and high quality studies on important topics in the psychology of religion and spirituality, including awe, self-transcendence, submissive thoughts and behaviors, and prosociality.
