RESEARCH PROJECTS Attenuating implicit gender biases about Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) professions. 2010-present.

Co-Principal Investigator: Damla Ergun; Co-Investigator: Prof. Christopher Federico.
The role of values and self-interest in political behaviors. 2005-present. In a series of experiments, we test our hypothesis derived from Construal Level Theory that because material self-interest is more concrete, it should carry greater weight in the context of the immediate future whereas more abstract values should carry greater weight in the context of the distant future.

Dominant groups and dominant responses: Status-based asymmetries in epistemicallymotivated groupcentrism. 2004-present.
