Primary research interests are in person perception, impression formation and social cognition. The current focus of this work is on the origin, organization and use of different kinds of mental representations of people and events.
Representative issues include the factors affecting spontaneous trait inference and categorization and reliance on self-referent vs. other-referent information in impressions of the self or of others.
