What I Do
My research is animated by two complementary aims. First, I examine how work in cultural sociology, social psychology, and cognitive psychology can be synthesized to develop better models of human action, focusing particularly on morality and dual-process cognition. Second, I explore the sources and behavioral consequences of different moral cultures.
I also am interested in quantitative analysis, web surveys and online sampling, and methods for enhancing open science and research replicability.

New Paper on Deliberate Cognition
Many theories of cognition assume that automatic processes dominate behavior. In a recent paper, my co-authors Yagana Samim, Salwa Khan, and I demonstrate that deliberate control of behavior might occur more often than these theories suggest.
