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.

I’m interested in how people’s beliefs about themselves can interfere with their goals, and how simple writing interventions can alter these maladaptive trajectories. Specifically, I look at how abstractly framing a past success can help people with negative self-views draw positive conclusions about their abilities. In other lines of work, I examine what factors bias people’s mental representations of their own faces, as well as how certain attitudes or preferences help people define who they are.
