Research
Throughout my research, I aim to better understand the ways in which a small number of related psychological constructs – certainty, control, and causal attributions – powerfully shape a wide variety of personal and societal outcomes. By more fully understanding the impacts of these fundamental constructs, I aim to shed light on the basic mechanisms underlying emotion, attitudes, social cognition, intergroup conflict, and social justice.
