The world can be a chaotic, ambiguous, and uncertain place, and traversing such
a difficult landscape would be daunting without guides. Individuals gain such
guidance and insight into how to treat others and how they themselves expect to
be treated from the groups to which they belong. Belonging is one of our most
basic human needs. Groups serve a vital role in helping us navigate our social
worlds, and we have a pervasive tendency to see our ingroups in a laudable and
positive light.
My research, broadly defined, is twofold. First, I am concerned with the
antecedents and consequences of group level categorization. How do people choose
to categorize others as ingroup or outgroup targets? Once we categorize an
individual as such, what cognitive and behavioral changes are likely to occur?
Much of my current research is focused on the cross race effect (CRE) and the
ingroup overexclusion effect (IOE). As a social cognitive researcher, I am
primarily concerned with how others are stored in memory and how the environment
can affect the encoding and retrieval of social information.
In a second domain, I am interested in how people respond when the groups to
which they belong exclude them or reject them. Much of my research is now
focusing on showing the various responses to social inclusion and exclusion.
Social rejection occurs to everyone; though rejection today is less likely to
result in death, social exclusion is a signal to an evolutionary danger of being
alone. Research has shown rather convincingly that many responses to social
rejection appear maladaptive, yet from an evolutionary standpoint, it seems
unlikely that such maladaptive behaviors would continually be selected
generation after generation unless they exist as part of a "trade off" of sorts.
As such, we believe the responses to social exclusion are in and of themselves
adaptive or by-products of adaptive responses. Thus, maladaptive responses to
social rejection may represent a shifting of resources to other domains where
they would be more valuable.
If you are interested in contacting me, you should feel free to do so. I am
happy to answer questions from other professors, graduate students, or even
undergraduates who want to discuss research or applications to graduate school
in general. I am also always open to new collaborations, so if you are a
researcher looking to talk about starting a new line of research, please feel
free to contact me. I live at my computer and routinely tell my students that if
I go more than 24 hours without answering an email, something has gone terribly
wrong. Feel free to drop me a line.
