Research Interests

My research explores the social-psychological factors that promote or undermine cooperation among individuals and groups.

Research topics that I am currently exploring include:

• Social influence in prosocial outcomes
• Effects of cooperation on health outcomes
• Determinants of collective action and inaction
• Building trust among people in different levels of a social hierarchy
• The effects of digital technology and new media on civic participation and engagement
