I am interested in understanding the factors that influence how people make decisions and judgments. More specifically, I study the mechanisms through which people develop certain attitudes and the implications of those attitudes for behavior and mental health. These interests have led me to study two primary lines of research. I study the effects of mindfulness on the reduction of negativity bias and the implications of less negativity bias on mental health and well-being. Additionally, I study the relation between the emotional experience of disgust, avoidance tendencies, and social worldviews.
