General Overview
My main research interests lie in the areas
of social and cultural psychology. The majority of my research has explored how
cultural norms, values, and beliefs contribute to male violence. A specific
focus of my research has been on the cultural ideology of honor. In
collaboration with Dov
Cohen and others, I
have looked at how male concerns with honor, status, and reputation may
contribute to a perpetuation of violence.
More recently, I have begun exploring (with Mike Norton and John
Darley) how people
make decisions when ascribed social categories such as race or gender are
involved, and how they justify such decisions.
