Professor Rothbart has research interests in social and intergroup processes, race relations, social categorization, stereotyping, civil rights, and discrimination. Recently, he has focused on a number of questions related to social categorization, stereotyping, and intergroup relations, including: (1) the susceptibility of stereotypes to disconfirming information, (2) the implicit "mutual exclusivity" that exists among strong social categories, (3) differential processing of information about ingroup and outgroup members, and (4) the role of affective processes in social categorization and intergroup conflict.
