My research interests involve the social psychological study of the self, social identity, and social stigma. Within this broad scope, my primary focus is investigating the psychological and physiological consequences of prejudice for both the perpetrator and the target. My current research follows three related lines and examines how group identification, beliefs about the fairness of the status hierarchy, and implicit prejudice moderate psychological, cardiovascular, and neuroendocrine reactivity in intergroup settings.
