My work has two interdependent foci: implicit social cognition and intergroup bias. My collaborators and I have used a variety of methods to show that stereotypes (beliefs about social groups) can be automatically activated and influence a variety of responses, such as the speed of completing a task, the accuracy of memory, or interpersonal judgments. We have also shown that despite their automaticity, such stereotypes are not impervious to changes in the immediate situation and one's goals and expectations. Most recently, my lab has turned its attention to the ways in which implicit intergroup bias may contribute to ethnic/racial disparities in healthcare delivery and outcomes.
