2. Brief Description of the Institution
The University of Salamanca is the second oldest university in Europe (established in
1218). It is regarded as a prestigious university both in Spain and Latin America.
The Department of Social Psychology and Anthropology has some 25 faculty members,
with a majority of Social Psychologists and some Social Anthropologists.
Social psychologists Jaume Masip, Ph.D., and Carmen Herrero, Ph.D., have been
conducting research (and teaching) on psychology and law since the 1990s. Most of their
research is on verbal and nonverbal detection of deception and police interviewing, but
they have also been involved in studies on judicial sentencing, organizational justice, facial
composites, and other psychology and law related topics. They have established research
collaborations with the National Police School of Spain, some law professors at the
University of Salamanca, and reputed foreign scholars in the psychology and law domain.
They have a fair amount of peer-reviewed publications in international journals, including
top outlets such as Trends in Cognitive Sciences or Personality and Social Psychology
Review.
