Research Interests
I am interested in exploring implicit (or indirect) ways of
assessing
attitudes, stereotypes, self-concept, and identity. This work has
employed the Implicit
Association Test (IAT), as well as semantic and evaluative priming
techniques. To date, we are finding that many phenomena involving
intergroup
relations can be better predicted by using implicit (compared with
self-report)
measures. Current research is focused on understanding the sources of
implicit
attitudes, the relationship between implicit and explicit measures, and
the factors that alter implicit attitudes and beliefs. My research also
focuses on prejudice and employment discrimination, particularly with
respect to gender and ethnicity.
