My research investigates the intersection of two broad domains of social psychology: 1) group processes and intergroup relations, and 2) attitudes and persuasion. Within these domains, I investigate how social groups influence people's self-conception, attitudes, physiology, and biology as they relate to health behaviors. The goal of my research is to integrate basic cognitive processes into social interactive processes, societal processes, individual processes, and internal processes that explain group and individual health behavior.

I am a second-year graduate student in the SITH lab. I completed my Master's degree in Experimental Psychology at Western Illinois University and my Bachelor's degree in International Business at Foreign Trade University in Vietnam. Generally, I am interested in the self: how people perceive themselves and how their self-perceptions influence their thinking and behaviors. Currently, my research focuses on the link between self-uncertainty and extremism. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, exploring new places, and trying and cooking new cuisines.

I am a third-year graduate student in the SITH Lab. I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from The University of Kansas. My research interests include social identity and predictors of intergroup relations such as intergroup emotions, intergroup threat, and uncertainty. I am also interested in the content and implications of stereotypes and prejudice and political psychology. I enjoy traveling, having a good cup of coffee, watching sporting events, and spending time with my two kids.
