Biography
My research focuses on cognitive processing and interpersonal dynamics in the contexts of health communication, persuasion and new media. Taking a socio-psychological perspective, I approach human communication by focusing on cognitive and interpersonal factors or processes using a variety of quantitative research methods (experiment, survey and content analysis). I am particularly interested in investigating some of the cognitive processes that influence the course and conduct of persuasion, personal bonding, self-presentation, and information seeking, and how these processes are shaped by communication technologies and social norms.
