Acintya Ratna Priwati is a researcher and academic in the field of social psychology, with a research focus on social identity from a cross-cultural perspective. She completed her doctoral studies (PhD) at the Laboratoire de Psychologie Sociale, Université Paris Cité, France. Her doctoral research examined how individuals make sense of national identity through collective memories of the past and projections toward the future, using a social psychological approach. Her study compared the Indonesian and French contexts by integrating the Social Identity Theory framework with perspectives from cross-cultural psychology.

Previously, Acintya pursued her master’s degree (M.A.) in Social Psychology at the Faculty of Psychology, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM). At this level, she deepened her study of individual behavior in digital contexts while developing competencies in both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies. She also completed her undergraduate studies at the Faculty of Psychology, UGM, which marked the beginning of her interest in social psychology issues and in the relationships between individuals, groups, and cultural contexts.

In addition to her primary focus on national identity and collective memory, Acintya’s research interests include social identity, the self and interpersonal relations, cross-cultural psychology, and cyberpsychology, particularly in relation to social dynamics and technological development.

As a lecturer, Acintya has taught courses in Social Psychology, Communication Psychology, Human Development Across the Lifespan, Basic Assessment, and Psychology and Culture.
