Impression Formation
P
In this line of research, I aim to answer fundamental questions about the impressions people form of one another’s personality traits and other characteristics after social interactions. I am especially interested in how impressions are biased by other factors. In one study, I showed that people bias impressions of others towards similarity by eliciting similar behavior from others.

My research investigates the impressions people form of others during face-to-face interactions, the stereotypes that manifest in these impressions, and how they impact social decisions.
