Max received a B.A. in psychology and a Ph.D in social psychology at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. As a political psychologist, he has three lines of research: one looks at the interplay between values and inter-group attitudes (e.g., how ideology and prejudice are related), one looks at the psychological consequences of social changes (e.g., how people react to demographic shifts and cultural changes), and one is about research methodology. Max grew up in Beijing, and spends his free time on cooking for his family, taking online courses on subjects that are very unrelated to each other, and Starcraft.
