Research Interests
I am interested in the origins and consequences of social roles, including how these roles change over time, influence evaluations of others, and contribute to group differences in attitudes and behavior. One major focus of my work is the examination of dynamic stereotypes, or beliefs that a group has changed from the past and will continue to change in the future. Currently, I am exploring the antecedents and consequences of stereotype dynamism versus stability, with the goal of understanding how the perceived mobility of social groups influences affective, cognitive, and behavioral processes relevant to social change. Another line of my research examines the gender gap in political and social attitudes, including stereotypes about the attitudes of men and women, gender congeniality effects on voting, and the stability of the gender gap over time.
