Chris Sibley is a Professor in the School of Psychology at the University of Auckland. Chris grew up in Lower Hutt, and completed his PhD at Victoria University of Wellington in 2005. Chris has published more than 200 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, is the editor of the Cambridge Handbook of the Psychology of Prejudice, and the lead investigator for the New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study. He teaches in research methods and social psychology. Outside of work, Chris admits to being an avid reader of science fiction novels and a keen hiker.
Chris founded the New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study (NZAVS) in 2009. The NZAVS is a nationally representative 20-year longitudinal study that assesses change and stability in the personality, social attitudes, values and health outcomes of roughly 20,000 New Zealanders each year. Running the study keeps him fairly busy.
Chris jointly leads the New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study (NZAVS) with Dr. Danny Osborne, Dr. Fiona Kate Barlow and Dr. Joseph Bulbulia. Because the NZAVS is an annual survey that uses repeat respondents, it can track subtle changes in attitudes and values over time, and is becoming an important tool for numerous researchers around the globe. Chris' research focuses on understanding how people's connections with others around them interact with environmental and economic factors to cause change in personality, political attitudes, social values and psychological health over time. This is important because we currently know very little about how peoples’ opinions, values, personality and subjective wellbeing may change gradually over time, and perhaps also change rapidly in response to current events in society.
