I focus on the conscious and nonconscious ways people fundamentally orient to the world. Using basic science and experimental research approaches, I investigate how individuals' motivations, emotions, needs, and goals impact the basic ways they perceive, interpret, and ultimately react to the information around them. With my team members, we tackle issues including biased support for diverse leadership among adults and children, bias in jurors' visual experiences when viewing evidence, biased perceptions of environments when pursuing better health, and other outcomes.
