I study several aspects of social cognition, including how attitudes, stereotypes, and goals shape thought and action. I am particularly interested in the interplay between automatic processes (unintended, often unconscious) and cognitive control. Cognitive control refers to the set of processes by which people direct their thoughts and actions to keep them consistent with their goals. These topics naturally intersect with research on implicit and explicit prejudice, self-regulation, and meta-cognitive monitoring (using subjective experience to regulate thought processes).
Primary Interests:
