My research is generally concerned with understanding the cognitive and motivational processes underlying attitudes and attitude change. I take a detailed, analytic approach to studying the mechanisms that explain people's inferences and attitudes, as well as the change and maintenance of these inferences and attitudes. Some specific research interests include: behavior change in different ethnic, gender, and age groups; health disparities; and social and health neuroscience.

I have received both K01 (1999-2004) and K02 (2005-2009) Scientist Development Awards from the National Institutes of Mental Health, as well as several other research fellowships and grants. Currently, some of the research methods I use are laboratory studies, fMRI, questionnaires, health intervention research, and meta-analysis.
