Despite the obvious sophistication of the mind, we often find ourselves entangled in a web of misjudgments, overgeneralizations, and discriminatory acts. Why does our mental machinery, which works so well so often, also frequently lead us astray in the social world?
To understand how people think about each other, I measure both the information we use and the mental processes by which we use it to derive impressions and evaluations of others, and the decisions that follow. My work employs a diverse toolkit of computational models, behavioral paradigms, and data sources.
