Biography

[edit]

Mackie received her BA and MA from the University of Auckland, New Zealand. After completing her BA and MA, she spent a year (1979) working with Willem Doise and Gabriel Mugny as a research assistant at the University of Geneva, Switzerland,[1] which culminated in an edited volume titled The social development of the intellect.[5]

Mackie subsequently attended Princeton University, where she completed her PhD in social psychology in 1984 under the supervision of Joel Cooper.[6] Her dissertation examined effects of social identification on group polarization[7] and was honored as outstanding dissertation research by the Society of Experimental Social Psychology.[8]

Mackie joined the faculty of psychology of UC Santa Barbara in 1984.

Mackie's research program spanned a broad range of topics in social psychology including attitudes and beliefs; social emotions, mood and affect; social influence and persuasion; intergroup relations; stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination; self-identity and self-cognition. Over her career, Mackie authored many articles and book chapters on social influence and intergroup relations. She and Elliot Smith also co-authored a popular social psychology textbook.[9] Her research was supported by grants from the National Science Foundation.[10]
