In another line of research, they investigated the strategies people use to reconnect with their social world after experiencing social exclusion. In this research, they found evidence suggesting that excluded individuals will exhibit greater responsiveness to the emotions of others. Specifically, excluded individuals will be more likely to mimic the facial expressions of others, and this enhanced facial mimicry seems to facilitate reconnection by fostering social rapport. Furthermore, they have found that social exclusion seems to promote more complex and tailored responding, beyond simply mimicking the emotional expressions of others. Excluded individuals tend to exhibit greater flexibility in their emotional responding to others, being more likely to tailor their regulation attempts to what seems to work best for their interaction partners. In her spare time, Elaine enjoys reading, bowling, exploring Chicago, and playing shuffleboard. After graduating, Elaine plans to pursue a career in academia, allowing her to focus on both research and teaching.

This project investigated how spatial skills training could improve undergraduate success for gifted science and engineering majors. This project was a perfect marriage of his interest in educational psychology and his technical background in physics. He wanted more. Graduate school gave him an abundant array of opportunities to explore fascinating intersections between psychology and education. He began his Master’s research at the Unviersity of California, Berkeley, investigating how computer visualizations could improve high school students’ understanding of science and then moved to Northwestern for his Ph.D. David was drawn to Northwestern because of Professor David Uttal’s extensive expertise on spatial thinking and science education research. Northwestern was also particularly attractive because of the Spatial Intelligence and Learning Center (SILC), which is supported by a National Science Foundation grant shared among researchers at Northwestern, Temple University, and University of Chicago. SILC has substantially expanded the relevant networking and research opportunities for David both within and beyond Northwestern.
