Research
I study how consumers think, feel, and decide — with work on artificial intelligence and consumers, emotion and coping, political ideology, persuasion, and the measurement of well-being. My research appears in the Journal of Consumer Research, Journal of Marketing, Journal of Marketing Research, Journal of Consumer Psychology, and Psychological Science, among others.
