The goal of my research is to understand the interplay between people's views of themselves and their social beliefs. In the area of self-perception, I have been particularly interested in the role of egocentric processes, such as social projection and self-enhancement. In the area of social perception, my interests have been focused on social categorization and stereotyping. Rather than studying these topics in isolation, my research strategy is to try to understand the linkages among them.

I received a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Oregon in 1988, and I have been at Brown since 1991. My research interests focus on inductive reasoning in social context. This includes the areas of self-perception, intergroup perception and relations, as well as behavior in social dilemmas. I am particularly interested in the processes of social projection, which determine how and when people assume that others will behave as they themselves do. I have found that social projection can increase the accuracy of social perception, and make people more willing to cooperate with others. However, social projection also contributes to ingroup favoritism and conflict between groups. I regularly teach a laboratory course in social cognition (PY154). At intervals, I teach topical courses to graduate students and seminars to advanced undergraduates.
