Biography

Abraham Koshy is a second year PhD student at the Klein College of Media and Communication. Koshy’s research explores perceptions of political media as an intergroup process, especially in non Western contexts. One of his current projects expands the concept of source credibility to the group level using insights from the Stereotype Content Model. This work aims to contribute to our understanding of observed irrational outcomes of processes like identity protective cognition with regards to politicized issues like climate change. He is also working on a project investigating how exposure to science through products of scientific technology like the internet and the mobile phone can predict confidence in science across 40 countries in the world.
