My research interests focus on the processes underlying evaluative judgments, including the most thoughtful meta-cognitive processes and the least thoughtful automatically activated evaluations. Currently, research in my lab is focused on three areas: context and automatic prejudice, the meta-cognitive processes underlying attitude strength, and forming judgments of hypocrisy in others.

  • Attitudes and Beliefs
  • Culture and Ethnicity
  • Health Psychology
  • Intergroup Relations
  • Person Perception
  • Persuasion, Social Influence
