I study how communication and information processing within people’s social relationships—ranging from broad social norms to in-person interactions with close others—influence cognition and behavior. To date, my work has centered on social inequality and social class.
Social Norms
Social Norms
Inequality between certain groups is sometimes perceived as less acceptable (e.g., race groups) than for other groups (e.g., occupations).
Do these differences shape the degree of inequality that liberals and conservatives perceive to exist?
Intergroup Contact
Intergroup Contact
People sometimes have interactions with individuals from groups different to their own groups (e.g., lower-class individuals interacting with upper-class individuals).
Do these interactions communicate ideas about justice that are prevalent within groups?
Do these interactions shape stereotypes about groups unequal in power and status?
Social Class
Social Class
Are lower-class individuals more interdependent than upper-class individuals?
How do these differences affect their views around justice?
