Garriy Shteynberg received his B.A. in Psychology and B.B.A. in Management from the University of Texas at Austin, his M.S. in Social & Cultural Anthropology from the University of Oxford and his Ph.D. in Social-Organizational Psychology from the University of Maryland. In his research, Garriy seeks to understand the emergence of cultural norms and their role in regulating human behavior. For instance, his research suggests that individuals are more likely to remember information when it is shared with their social group. Another research line reveals that perceived norms are more powerful predictors of individual behavior than personal attitudes. Together these findings shed some light on the nature and function of cultural norms in organizations and society.
