Research
Prof. Baldwin's main area of research is social cognition, with a focus on the representation and activation of information about significant relationships. His studies often involve questions about relationship security and insecurity, and how they relate to self-esteem and attachment processes.Selected References

Research in Social Psychology is becoming increasingly collaborative at McGill, as faculty and grad students' interests converge on topics of selfhood and social relationships. As a result, we recently formed the Center for Identity and Social Relations. To see a list of my colleagues in Social and Personality psychology, go here: Social - Personality
Prospective students: I anticipate accepting one graduate student to work with me each year for the next few years. Please feel free to read the abstracts on this website and, if the research interests you, to apply to our graduate program here at McGill. Please note that in order to avoid biasing the selction process, I typically do not communicate with prospective graduate students until the applications have been received and given an initial review.
SELFESTEEMGAMES Web Page: My students and I have recently set up www.selfesteemgames.mcgill.ca, which reports our most recent work in which we use repetitive games or tasks to try to modify the cognitive processes underlying self-esteem.
