Research Interests:

I am interested in the interface between social cognition and judgment and decision making. Specific areas of interest  include applications to consumer behavior; heuristics and other factors that can systematically bias judgments; and systematic differences in decision satisfaction or regret. I am currently pursuing a line of research on how metaphors influence judgments, attitudes, and behaviors.
