My research explores the processes that underlie accuracy and error self and social judgment. I am particularly fascinated by self-perception and, as such, most of my work is aimed at understanding the sources of accuracy and error in self-judgments. Beyond self-judgments, I am also fascinated by judgments of one’s environment including perceptions of cultural symbols and predictions about future consequences. Thus, my secondary line of research explores how a single-minded focus on the consequences one intends can blind individuals to alternative, negative consequences.
