Broadly speaking, my research examines the self and social perception, particularly as these topics relate to prejudice and intergroup relations. Much of my research examines factors that affect whether individuals perceive prejudice-related threats, their cognitive, emotional, and behavioral responses to these threats, and the implications of how they cope with threats for well being and interpersonal relationships. I am also interested in the application of these ideas to law and legal processes.
