Dr. Hunter Gehlbach is an assistant professor at Harvard's Graduate School of Education. An educational psychologist with an affinity to social psychology, he is broadly interested in improving schools and classrooms through examining the social and interpersonal processes of individuals. His research centers around two themes, one substantive and one methodological. The substantive interest is in social perspective taking, or the way we figure out the thoughts and feelings of others and how they perceive situations. His research in this area focuses on both the ability to figure out the thoughts and feelings of others as well as the propensity or motivation to engage this ability. Most of this research focuses on adolescents and social studies classrooms as they provide a developmentally intriguing population in a setting with copious perspective taking challenges. In addition to this substantive interest, he is interested in the way that researchers design and implement surveys. Specifically, he examines efficient ways of pre-testing questions, effectively designing questions to comprise scales, and optimally motivating participants to give thoughtful answers.
