Research Interests:

  • Evolutionary Psychology
  • Human Mating
  • Lying and Deception
  • Social Stigma
  • Social Judgments

I am interested in examining the factors that influence people's judgments about individuals who engage in various forms of wrongdoing (e.g., lying, infidelity, harming others). Specifically, my research has focused on systematic differences in the attitudes, judgments, and emotional reactions of individuals who are randomly assigned to the role of perpetrator, victim, or observer of an interpersonal transgression. Currently, I am conducting research on males' and females' first sexual intercourse experiences, the stigma associated with mental illnesses, and the escalation of deceit. My research is guided by the theory of motivated reasoning and evolutionary psychology.
