Research Topics 

In our lab we focus on the experience of being the target of stigma.  Some of the questions we are currently investigating include:

(1) How does possessing a concealable stigmatized identity differ from possessing a visible stigmatized identity? Amongst people with a concealable stigmatized identity, what psychological processes predict who will be vulnerable to identity related distress and who will not?  

(2) How does the experience of self-objectification shape psychological and performance outcomes of women?

(3) How can weight stigma be reduced while simultaneouly promoting healthy eating and exercise habits?
