My research revolves, in large part, around social judgments and evaluations (with a focus on socially constructed categories such as gender, race, the mentally ill and others). This social cognition emphasis is supplemented by strong interests in decision-making, health behaviors, and individual differences. Recently, I have heeded my own public call for research focus on genetic by social environment (G x SE) interactions and initiated a line of neuropsychosocial research in the health realm. Occasionally these somewhat omnivorous interests pull me in different directions, but it also facilitates and stimulates my passion to explore the human phenomenon.
Primary Interests:
- Attitudes and Beliefs
- Evolution and Genetics
- Gender Psychology
- Health Psychology
- Judgment and Decision Making
- Neuroscience, Psychophysiology
- Personality, Individual Differences
- Prejudice and Stereotyping
- Social Cognition
