Research Interests
My research focuses on the social construction and maintenance of the self-concept. This interest spans basic social cognitive processes, self-regulation, and interpersonal relations.Major foci are the study of self-handicapping strategies, the influence of public behavior on private self-conceptions, and social cognitive underpinnings of narcissistic behavior. An interest running through all of this research is the relation between self-concerns, social behavior, and physical health.
