I have conducted research into the effects of culture, reputation threat, gender norms, and political decision making mechanisms on people's behavior.
My recent research interests focus on identifying the cultural and motivational forces that drive conflict and cooperation between the sexes, and the evolution and maintanence of cultural norms related to gender relations. I approach these topics with a combination of perspectives from social, cultural, and evolutionary psychology, using experimental and survey methodology. The knowledge gained from this research has several implications for well-being, justice, and equality at the domestic and professional settings.
