News Headlines

365亚洲版学院的心理学项目最让我兴奋的是我与本科生的密切合作. I am passionate about teaching psychology, and I love the small, intimate, 还有支持性的教室,让我不仅能教书,还能指导我的学生. I currently teach Introduction to Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Research Methods, and Myths and Controversies in Psychology. Most of all, I try to incorporate research into all of my classes, 要么强调对科学研究及其结论的严格评估,要么让学生设计并进行自己的研究. I find students really are the creative engine in the field!

As much as I love teaching, I also love being a scientist. In research, 我主要感兴趣的是我们的社会环境如何塑造基本的认知过程, and how individuals incur costs and benefits in social relationships. 我觉得我们的视觉系统重建我们周围的世界是很有趣的, but it is not always accurate. For example, the steepest paved road in Lynchburg, VA is, by law, 9 degrees, yet it looks drastically steeper! In fact, 有充分的证据表明,我们所看到的是由我们在世界上的行动能力和, more surprisingly, who surrounds us. 当我们身体疲惫时,距离看起来更远,山看起来更陡, 想到一个支持我们的朋友会让我们更容易驾驭这个世界. My research has found that even an abstract social resource, imagining supportive others, provides physiological benefits and alters visual perception. 我很高兴能和学生们一起继续这项工作,直接量化个人如何感知和联系他们的社会网络,努力建立社会环境的哪些方面对生理和认知过程的这些直接变化负责.

When I’m not working, you will often find me training for long distance runs, catching up on my reading list, or watching football.
