Existential and Self Processes Lab
My lab will be receiving PSY390 applications for the Fall (2011-2012) Quarter. Please visit the lab web site for more information.
Research Interests
Broadly, my research focuses on the psychological processes that contribute to perceptions of self-relevant meaning and value. Much of this work is grounded in terror management theory and explores how existential concerns about mortality influence a wide spectrum of cognitive processes and social behaviors.
