Biography

Chris Sibley is a Professor in the School of Psychology at the University of Auckland. He has published more than 400 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, and is the editor of the Cambridge Handbook of the Psychology of Prejudice, and the Cambridge Handbook of Political Psychology. Chris grew up in Lower Hutt, and completed his PhD at Victoria University of Wellington in 2005. Chris is the Principal Investigator for the New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study (NZAVS). He teaches in research methods and social psychology. Outside of work, Chris admits to being an avid reader of science fiction novels and keen trail runner.

The New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study is a large longitudinal national probability annual panel study of social attitudes, personality, ideology and health outcomes. The NZAVS began in 2009 and is curated by Professor Chris Sibley. It includes questionnaire responses from more than 70,000 New Zealand residents. The study includes researchers from many New Zealand universities, including the University of Auckland, Victoria University of Wellington, the University of Canterbury, the University of Otago, and Waikato University. Because the survey asks the same people to respond each year, it can track subtle change in attitudes and values over time, and is an important resource for researchers both in New Zealand and around the world. The NZAVS is university-based, not-for-profit and independent of political or corporate funding.
