Research Area

My current research interests focus mainly on two issues:

1) The interaction between language and social cognition. Through experimental work and archive analyses I am investigating how different features of language (such grammatical gender, word order, metaphors, writing direction) affect how we perceive individuals and groups and how we interpret their actions. I am also interested in how listeners are affected by gay/lesbian- (vs. heterosexual-) sounding voices.

2) The psychological consequences of and reactions to economic inequality. Through both correlational and experimental approaches I am investigating how people perceive economic inequality and how they react to strategies (such as progressive taxation) aimed at redistibuting income and wealth.

Thesis proposals

Since I will retire in Summer 2022, I am unable to accept new students for the supervision of their BS or MS thesis
