Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Professor and Department Chair

My interests concern evaluative (attitudinal) processes in decision making including attitude change, attitude-behavior relations, implicit versus explicit attitudes, unconscious processes in decision making, emotion and judgment, and metacognition (especially judgmental certainty).  Areas of application include consumer, health, and legal decision making.
