| RESEARCH
SUMMARY |
| My major research focus is
on attitudes and attitude change, particularly as they relate
to the process of cognitive dissonance. My recent work examines
the role of the vicarious experience of dissonance -- i.e.,
feeling dissonance due to the inconsistent behavior of others.
I am also interested in the role of the self in dissonance arousal.
Two other areas of active interest are (1) the effect of expert
testimony in courts of law and (2) gender differences in the
effectiveness of information technology, particularly among
school children. |
