I am a social psychologist that explores the impact of different types of identities on social and behavioral outcomes. Specifically, my research has explored the differences between religious, moral, and spiritual identities on stereotyping in the workplace, coping with death related cognitions and social rejection, and increasing positive evaluations of outgroup members. I am currently investigating how these identities in jurors impact the verdicts they make about Muslim defendants based on the type of crime they committed.
