Social Judgment Research Team

Social Judgment Research Team
Research Team 11
Supervised by Leigh Ann  Vaughn

Office: 115-A Williams

We take a social-personality psychology approach to studying social judgment. We do original research on many topics. Recent topics include:

• how people's information processing styles affect their psychological well-being
• how people decide how much they trust another person
• how people become mentally transported and persuaded by narratives
• when people will accept apologies and be willing to forgive
• when people will correct their judgments for bias
• how people form first impressions of another person
• how people form judgments of groups with more or less social power
• predictors and effects of mindfulness and emotional intelligence

Team members read current research in the field and collaborate on designing and running studies, interpreting results, and writing APA-style reports about our research. We also have published our research.
