Robert Rydell
I am currently an Assistant Professor at Indiana University conducting research on the underlying cognitive processes that guide social behavior. Primarily, my research examines differences in formation, expression, and change for implicitly and explicitly measured evaluations. In addition, this line of research examines the consequences and regulation of discrepant evaluations about the same object. I am also conducting research on persuasion, resistance to persuasion, group entitativity, self-concept formation, and the processes underlying stereotype threat.
