Description of Research

My research interests have consistently revolved around the overarching topic of gender. This includes research questions regarding how one’s gender influences their personal perceptions of various social interactions as well as those regarding how we perceive others based on their gender identity or presentation. I’m interested in looking at various factors that contribute to prejudicial evaluations of individuals who do not conform to societal norms surrounding gender presentation and behavior. Research indicates that gender plays a large role in a variety of social contexts and has a large influence on our perceptions of others’ behaviors as well as our expectations of how people should act. These perceptions may then lead to the further stigmatization of those who do not conform to gender norms nor other traditional norms we hold regarding gender, sexual orientation, family-style, career, and lifestyle choices.

On such area I am interested in is the prejudicial evaluations and moral attributions toward people who live with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and the factors that influence these perceptions (e.g., PLWHA’s gender and sexual orientation) as well as the cause of infection. I am also interested in examining perceptions of gender minorities (e.g., transgender, gender non-binary or non-conforming) and factors that influence these perceptions, including heterosexism and anti-gay attitudes.

Another area of research I am interested in is the influence of honor ideology on perceptions of reciprocity within social interactions, including male aggressive responses (e.g., physical violence, sexual assault) to being romantically rejected along with various moderating and mediating factors that influence these responses to rejection, including women’s own adherence to honor ideology and their use of various rejection strategies (e.g., use of deception, being polite vs being rude).
