Research Interests:
My research focuses on three primary
areas in attitudes and social cognition: (1) the role one's values play in the
formation and strength-related consequences of one's attitudes; (2) the possible
contributions of attitude theory in judgment and decision-making, particularly
in understanding numerical anchoring effects; (3) and the effects of
characteristics of persuasive messages on attitude structure and change.
