I am a Professor Emerit in the Department of Psychology at the University of Oregon. In 2023 I joined Apple as a behavioral scientist.
In my academic research, I study how personality, emotions, status, and culture are expressed in social interactions and online, how people form judgments and make decisions in social secttings, and how personality develops over the lifespan. I have also worked on methods and practices in psychology that make the field more open, rigorous, inclusive, and just. I have taught, blogged, and podcasted about personality psychology, open science, research ethics, statistics, and research methods.

I am interested in how people express themselves in the context of social media. My research uses data-driven predictive modeling to explore personality and mental health, using behavioral Twitter data and self-reports. My secondary area of research examines how chronic illness communities utilize social media. Within Type 1 diabetes communities on Twitter, I use topic modeling techniques to understand what topics are being talked about and social network analysis to explore the structure of the community.

The impressions people form of one another are pivotal to interpersonal relationships and social decisions. My research aims to understand the real-world impacts of these impressions by studying how they form, what their functions are, and what biases they reflect in interactions between real people. A major focus of my research is studying how interpersonal perceptions of socioeconomic status (SES) magnify or perpetuate inequality. To support this work, I have developed novel methodological and analytical approaches, building off of dyadic and social relations model (SRM) work, that enable me to study these phenomena in impressions formed during dynamic social interactions among people with diverse backgrounds.

I am interested in how individuals’ social identities influence their social perceptions and interactions with others. In particular, my work focuses on populations with multiple identities (e.g., biracials and biculturals), in both how they are perceived and the impressions they form of others.

My research is primarily focused on questions about emotion and culture. For example, I study how violations of cultural norms can lead to different emotional reactions, or how cultural scripts can lead to differences in experience and expression of emotions. I’m also interested in the recent developments in statistics and research methods, and closely follow the discussions about open science and replicability. You can learn more about my research interests here, and see a list of my publications here.
