My research encompasses a range of topics within the broad areas of intragroup processes and intergroup relations. Topics include intergroup contact and prejudice reduction, group-based trust processes, defection from groups, and ingroup deviance. I also examine the role of collective identification in these areas.

Primary Interests:

  • Attitudes and Beliefs
  • Group Processes
  • Intergroup Relations
  • Person Perception
  • Political Psychology
  • Prejudice and Stereotyping
  • Self and Identity
