Gradient Background

I'm a social psychologist, mostly studying human darkness.

This, however, does not make me a pessimist.

My ultimate goal is to use my research to shed light on

how to achieve better human relationships and social interactions.

Research Interests

I focus on three broad research themes:

​

1) Objectification and Dehumanization

​

2) Inequality, Social Power, Social Dominance, and Hierarchy

​

3) Immoral Behaviour, Aggression, and Self-Interested Behaviour

To do so, I use a combination of methods, including

​

  • laboratory and online experiments

  • quasi-experiments/ special sample studies

  • surveys

  • ecological and archival data (e.g., Google Ngram)
