My main research interest is the effect of moods and emotions, particularly anxiety, on social cognition. I am also interested in other aspects of social psychology and social cognition including group behaviour and decision making, automatic processes, attitude change, social influence, and culture.
Outside these research interests, I have experience working in organisational psychology, human resources, organisational behaviour, and human factors.
Primary Interests:
- Culture and Ethnicity
- Emotion, Mood, Affect
- Judgment and Decision Making
- Organizational Behavior
- Person Perception
- Persuasion, Social Influence
- Prejudice and Stereotyping
- Social Cognition
