Mark Levine

I am a Professor of Social Psychology at the University of Exeter. My research explores the role of social identities in promoting pro-social behavior and tackling anti-social behaviour. My particular focus is on the way group processes can be used to achieve these ends in both digital and physically co-present contexts. I have worked on a range of interdisciplinary projects focusing on: promoting social responsibility and active citizenship; understanding the effects of CCTV surveillance on self and identity; tackling violence in the night-time economy; understanding identities and influence in online and offline collective action.

I collect experimental data in laboratories; study responses to violence in fully immersive virtual reality; and do field research with Hindu Pilgrims in India at the largest gathering of humanity on the planet.
