Broadly, my research focuses on person perception and how it relates to processes of prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination. I am interested in how the interaction between both target and perceiver characteristics (e.g., race, gender, etc.) can inform these processes. Notably, my work emphasizes the importance of prioritizing marginalized group members’ perspectives (e.g., racial minorities), positioning them as both targets and perceivers of person perception. Using diverse social-cognitive methodologies including reverse correlation, machine-learning, mouse-tracking, implicit association tasks, trait ratings, and behavioural choice tasks, I examine how people form impressions of others, which impressions they form, and what inferences they make from those impressions.
