My research program focuses broadly on stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination. Within this domain, I study a range of issues. For example, one area of my research focuses on social power and impression formation, particularly the role power may play in stereotyping subordinates. This work has turned toward examining whether social power undermines perceptions of social norms, with implications for perceptions of inappropriate (e.g., sexually harassing) and socially biased (e.g., jokes and comments) behaviors. In addition to this work, I am interested in implicit social cognition, particularly implicit stereotyping and prejudice. My work in this area has focused on the origins of implicit biases and their relationship to social behavior. More recently, I have become interested in factors that facilitate versus inhibit prejudice confrontation. My collaborators (Leslie Ashburn-Nardo, IUPUI, and Kate Morris, Butler University) and I have developed a model for studying confrontation that is predicated on the idea that prejudice is often experienced as a social emergency. As such, many of the same factors that qualify responding to physical emergencies may qualify responding to prejudice. Our NSF-funded research examines factors that influence perceptions prejudice warrants a response, as well as other phenomena.
