Academic Focus

Social and Personality Psychology

My research focuses on the social-cognitive mechanisms of behavior as well as individual differences. I have an interest in several areas of social behavior such as mindfulness, religion, embodiment, pro-social behavior, and aggression. I also examine other topics that pique my curiosity. A few representative publications are shown below (please visit my homepage for a complete list of publications).

I am also a director of Camp Psych, which is a summer camp in psychology for high school students.
