CURRICULUM VITA

RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research focuses on the diverse processes underlying evaluative judgments, ranging from the least thoughtful automatic processes to the most thoughtful meta-cognitive processes. A second theme in my research reflects my interest in the processes and biases that result from placing the self and others into social categories. Over time, much of my research has come to reflect the intersection of these two interests. My current projects include investigations of contextual influences on automatically activated racial attitudes, perceived thought as a determinant of attitude certainty, and ingroup bias in judging the hypocrisy of others.
