RESEARCH

My first line of research uses evolutionary and social psychological theories to examine the effects of fundamental human motivations – such as hunger and sexual attraction– on phenomena of interest to social psychologists. My research on hunger examines the effects of hunger on self-control. My research on attraction and relationships focuses on the factors that attract us to particular individuals and how sexual motivations change according to changes in internal states and the relationship context. This research also examines the factors predicting relationship well-being in diverse samples of heterosexual, gay, and lesbian individuals. My second line of research examines how the importance of physical attractiveness in relationships and in society more generally leads many individuals to experience body dissatisfaction. My research in this area applies social psychological theories to develop new perspectives on how gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and sociocultural factors relate to self-perceptions of attractiveness.
