My general research
interest is in social cognition, particularly attribution,
attitudes and the self concept. More specifically, I
am interested in affect as an underlying process for
attribution and as a determinant of attitudes and behavior.
Also, I am interested in the how self-cognitions are
organized. Additionally, I am interested in
philosophical issues pertaining to science and more
specifically to psychology. Some of this research examines
the philosophical arguments of Aristotle and Kant regarding
what people believe, and includes testing these arguments
empirically.

Grant Affiliation
Beginning in fall 2004, I was appointed
to be the Activity Coordinator for Research Assistants
for the Navy Research Lab by Douglas Gillan (Psychology
Department Head). This funded project was designed
to identify the known literature and gaps in research on
the influences of extreme environments on cognitive
processes. As activity coordinator, I was
responsible for maintaining and organizing which areas
of literature each research assistant would investigate.
Additionally, I was responsible for examining the
effects of extreme environments on situational
awareness, workload and social psychological measures of
stress. As part of the project, I was selected to
travel to the Marine Mountain Warfare Training Center in
Bridgeport, California and the U.S. Army Research Center
in Natick, Massachusetts to interview American and
British military personnel.
