Research Interest
My work is located at the intersection of social psychology and individual differences. Broadly speaking, I am interested in how people get along, particularly when conflict and transgressions occur. Both justice and social harmony are fundamentally important to humans; how do we get both following a transgression? Thus,most of research is concerned with forgiveness, with a special emphasis on the relation between justice and forgiveness.
