I research prosocial and aggressive behavior from an evolutionary
social psychological perspective. My prosocial research
examines within-family resource allocation as a function of
relatedness and emotional closeness. My aggression research
examines relationships between different domains of self-esteem and
aggression. I am currently developing a new line of research at the intersection of evolutionary psychology and behavioral economics that examines heuristics and biases in understanding rare and random events. Research Interests
- Self-Esteem, Narcissism, and Aggression
- Prosocial Behavior: Resource Allocation, Closeness, and Inclusive Fitness
- Theoretical Integration of Evolutionary and Social-Personality Psychology
- Judgment and Decision Making: Understanding Rare and Random Processes
- Psychology of Science and Publication Trends in Psychology
- Longitudinal Data Analysis (growth curve modeling, daily diary methods)
- Multilevel Modeling and Moderated Mediation
