Ongoing research:
1. Stereotypes, especially stereotype change. Current research is considering the impact of prejudice level on stereotype change and the role of attributions in stereotype change, especially attributions for stereotypic behavior.
2. Social perception, especially the kinematic specification of dynamics (KSD) within social interactions. Research in our laboratory is looking at the kinematic specification of perceived vulnerability to physical attack and at the kinematic specification of deception.
3. Social psychology applied to sport. Research in our laboratory is considering the execution and "reading" of faked passes and changes of direction; social loafing in team sports; media differences in the portrayal of male and female athletes.
