Social Psychology

Research

Social Cognition and Comparison Lab

Broadly speaking, I am interested in how people use information from others to evaluate themselves and how people use information from themselves to evaluate others. My primary line of research focuses on how socially comparing with others can change people’s self-perceptions. Within this area, I am currently interested in how comparisons with others in person or on social media can influence body image disturbances.

In a secondary line of work, I examine how people form impressions of other people or how they form attitudes about different topics based on their own political ideology.
