I am currently an Assistant Professor at Indiana University conducting research on the underlying cognitive processes that guide social behavior. My work primarily focuses on two distinct lines of research. In one line of research, I examine the differences between implicit and explicit attitude measures (i.e., attitude formation, attitude change, attitudinal discrepancies, and attitude-behavior correlations). In the other line of research, I examine the mechanisms underlying stereotype threat-based performance and learning decrements. My research also examines how people form impressions of individuals, groups, and the self.
