Associate Editor, Journal of Experimental Social Psychology
I am, in a lot of ways, a traditional Social Cognition researcher. My primary interests are social inference and social memory and the majority of my work has been focused on the perception of individuals and social groups – specifically, the unintentional processes underlying social inference making (e.g., spontaneous trait inference and trait transference). Other areas of interest include: attitudes, anticipated regret, self-enhancement strategies, social identity, and counterfactual thinking.
