My research is focused on the psychology of judgment and decision making. Recent and ongoing research projects involve perceptions of health, safety, and ecological risks; precautionary reasoning; information distortion in risky decisions; the perceived fungibility of outcomes in repeated decisions; and applications in environmental and medical decision making.
I teach the psychology of judgment and decision making at the undergraduate (Psych 508), undergraduate honors (Psych 508H), and graduate (Psych 708) levels.
