Research Interests
I am interested in how characteristics, group exemplars, and actions inform individuals of their attitudes toward others and of their own abilities. The central focus of my research examines how either positive characteristics or group exemplars (role models) help people overcome stigmatization (negative attitudes and stereotype threat). My research indicates that reading positive characteristics and/or role models help women to perform better on stigmatized math tests. Another area of my research examines the role that past actions play in one’s attitude representation of a social category. My research on actions, for instance, indicates that when people are induced to falsely recall actions toward a social group, these “false memories” change or alter their attitude toward such groups.
