Richard J. Crisp (b. 1973) is Professor of Psychology at the Centre for the Study of Group Processes at the University of Kent. He is a leading psychological scientist with a wide range of expertise in quantitative and experimental approaches to the study of social behaviour

Crisp was born in London (UK), and educated at The Sir Joseph Williamson's Mathematical School in Rochester, Kent. He went on to read Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford and completed his PhD in Social Psychology at Cardiff University with Miles Hewstone. After his doctoral work was appointed to a Lectureship in Psychology at the University of Birmingham (1999) where he was also Senior Lecturer (2003), and Reader (2004). In 2007 he was appointed full Professor of Psychology at the Centre for the Study of Group Processes at the University of Kent. He was Head of the School of Psychology from 2008-2011.

Crisp has published widely on diversity, multiculturalism, prejudice, stereotyping, social cognition and intergroup relations. His scholarly contributions are particularly known for their application of cutting-edge advances in psychological science to pervasive and problematic social issues. In 2007 he developed a new cognitive approach to reducing prejudice and promoting tolerance based on the application of theory and research into mental imagery (the "imagined contact hypothesis"). More recently, he has uncovered evidence that living in diverse, multicultural societies can produce a wide range of benefits associated with 'flexible thinking' - including enhanced creativity, problem solving and negotiation skills.

In 2006 Crisp was awarded the British Psychological Society Spearman Medal "in recognition of outstanding published work in psychology". In 2012 along with Rhiannon Turner, he was awarded the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues Gordon Allport Intergroup Relations prize (for the best paper of the year on intergroup relations). He has also been recognised with election to Academician of the Academy of Social Sciences, Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science, and Fellow of the Society for Experimental Social Psychology. In 2011 he was elected a Fellow of the British Psychological Society, in recognition of his 'outstanding contribution to the advancement or dissemination of psychological knowledge'.

He is a former Associate Editor of the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology (2008-2011) and is currently Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Applied Social Psychology (2012- ).
