I study the antecedents and consequences/implications of human difference:

(1) Between-group (perceived) differences (e.g., stereotyping and meta-stereotyping in complex intergroup systems; stigma based on social categories)

(2) Within-group (perceived) differences (e.g., social pressures to construe the self as independent of social influence; stigma based on personal characteristics/conditions)

Primary Interests:

  • Applied Social Psychology
  • Gender Psychology
  • Intergroup Relations
  • Law and Public Policy
  • Persuasion, Social Influence
  • Political Psychology
  • Prejudice and Stereotyping
  • Sexuality, Sexual Orientation
