Current Research Agenda

The use of longitudinal and panel designs to examine different research questions is definitely on my agenda. I intend to maintain my interdisciplinary science approach to doing research at the intersection of social psychology, political psychology, and law and human behavior. I intend to increase the number of multi- discipline (e.g., Psychology and Computer Science, Psychology and Political Science and Law) and multi-institution collaborative research projects that I initiate or contribute to.

Mentoring Philosophy

My mentoring style is collaborative and supportive. I have never been a fan of the apprenticeship approach that has characterized Psychology graduate training for so long. I see myself as being a guide and resource and colleague during a student’s graduate training. I meet with students individually and on a weekly basis, not in a research group. I take this approach so as to maximize my time engaging with individuals about research and teaching and professional development issues. I see myself as an honest broker who provides constructive and useful feedback and advice throughout graduate school. Graduate school is intense and challenging and I believe it is very important for me to use my experience and contacts to run interference for my students and to relieve the pressure as best I can. I view this mentoring as a career long process, one that begins in graduate school but continues over time in the context of a student’s career trajectory.
