My research falls into two general categories..
My research on identity management looks at motivated aspects of self-definition, the strategic deployment of standards, the relationship between personal and social identity, and stereotyping of self and others. Much of this research focuses on achievement settings and the protection and maintenance of esteem.
My other research area concerns political psychology. I study the social-cognitive dimensions of political attitudes, status quo preference, social change, moral perception, and prejudice.
Some questions studied in my lab include: Are personal and social identity antagonistic? Why do people stereotype others, and themselves? Why is tradition valued? When do people pursue social change? Are there psychological consequences when social change is pursued? What is the relationship between similarity and prejudice?
