Peer-Reviewed Research Articles
I am not currently pursuing new academic research projects. However, I still welcome the opportunity to serve as a peer-reviewer for research on motivated reasoning, "Big Data" methods in psychology, moral psychology, political ideology, and well-being -- especially for work that builds upon any of the research below.
