Pascal Huguet, Ph.D. in social psychology, is Director of Research in the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) at Aix-Marseille University, Marseille, France. In this University, he is head of the Brain, Behaviour & Cognition Institute, a research center at the interface of scientific psychology and integrative neurosciences, and head of the research team "Cognition and Social Context" within the Laboratory of Cognitive Psychology (UMR CNRS 7290). The majority of his research focuses on the social regulation of cognitive functioning, with a special interest for social presence effects in human and non human primates, social comparison processes, and gender stereotyping. In this last domain, for example, he focuses on the impact of the gender-math stereotype on math performance in adults and children, and the way this stereotype and others favoring men contribute to the underrepresentation of women in math and the "hard sciences" in general. Pascal Huguet, a fellow of the Society for Experimental Social Psychology (SESP), has authored more than 80 scientific publications (articles, books, and book chapters), and gave a hundred lectures at international conferences. He was Editor of International Review of Social Psychology (2000-06) and Associate Editor of European Journal of Social Psychology (2006-09). Member of several ethical committees of the CNRS in the past ten years (Ethical Committee in Life Sciences/2003-05 ; CNRS general Ethical Committee/2005-07), he was also member of the French National Committee for Scientific Research (Section 27: Behaviour, Cognition, Brain) between 2004 and 2012, and is currently expert for the European Commission, FP7-Science in Society, on gender equality. Finally, Pascal Huguet was Delegate of France at the IUPsyS Assembly (Berlin, 2008; Melbourne, 2010; Cape Town, 2012), member of the IUPsyS Work Group on Education for Psychologists (Chair, J. Pandey) in 2008, and secretary of the meeting of the Work Group held in Melbourne in 2010.
