Holly Arrow

Associate Professor, Department of Psychology & Institute of Cognitive and Decision Sciences

Dr. Arrow has two major research interests. The first is the formation and development of small groups as complex dynamic systems. The second is the psychology of war, in particular the evolution of social capacities that help men and women cope with the challenges to survival and reproductive success posed by war.
