My research interests focus on two distinct domains:

(1) My work involving group processes focuses on creativity and information exclusion in groups. In particular, I am interested in how mood and beliefs about groups influence creative performance. Moreover, my research investigates how ostracism and being “out of the loop” influence individual responses (e.g., feelings of belonging), group dynamics (e.g., trust and liking of group members), and organizationally-relevant outcomes (e.g., job satisfaction). My latest projects have concerned interventions and individual differences (e.g., trait mindfulness) that mitigate the effects of ostracism, studied both in lab settings and in the workplace.

(2) In the realm of psychology and law, my research examines how mock jurors respond to inconsistent statements present in a witness’s testimony or in confession evidence. I am also interested in understanding the challenges that the wrongfully-convicted face once they leave prison (e.g., securing employment).
