Research Interests:

I study the ways in which perceptions of uncertainty and threat can affect group communication processes, including opinion expression and social influence. In my dissertation, I examine the relationship between self-relevant uncertainty and people's tendencies to express, or be persuaded by, minority (dissenting) viewpoints. In a second area of research, I study the factors that lead individuals to change their attitudes and self-judgments based on externally primed constructs (e.g., traits, goals, stereotypes). In a third area of research, I study the consequences of intergroup threat for political attitudes. Specifically, I am interested in when perceived threat will and will not increase group members' support for social inequality.
