I study how social environments shape human psychological and behavioral processes. My research focuses on the socio-ecological factor of relational mobility, the degree of freedom individuals have to choose and change their interpersonal relationships and groups.
My research focuses on cross-societal differences in the exchange of reputational information and how it contributes to human cooperation.
My research focuses on whether people's psychological/behavioral tendencies, once formed, shift in an adaptive direction as their environment and adaptive tasks change. To investigate this, I am currently conducting a longitudinal study following participants over time.
Hi, I am interested in how the optimal level of psychological traits varies across social environments, particularly how seemingly maladaptive psychological tendencies can have different consequences depending on the social context.
