psychology course.]
Much of the research that I
get involved in follows
the interests of my students or grows out of some peculiar question or
other that does not fit neatly within the categories defined by my
usual research areas. Most of these studies fall somewhere under the
general umbrella of "social psychology," although there are some
exceptions to this as well. Some past research projects
outside of my main areas of interest can be found below.
