Research Interests

 

My research focuses on two primary areas:

 

Ø      Romantic Relationships: What variables predict whether a relationship will “last the test of time?” How do victims of relationship violence view their partner and the relationship? What are cognitive biases that affect perceptions of relationships?

 

Ø      Dynamic Gender Stereotypes: How do present-day individuals perceive that men and women have changed over time, and how do they evaluate these perceived changes? What impact do these views have on opportunities for non-traditional individuals? More generally, how do we react to a social group seen as changing, versus one seen as stable?
