My research focuses on the study of prejudice
from a self-regulatory
perspective. To the extent that nonprejudiced responding
can be
conceptualized as an act of self-regulation, we can
assess the types of
standards that individuals monitor in prejudice-relevant
situations, as
well as how they behave in line with those standards,
and the affective and
behavioral implications of successfully conforming to
or failing to conform
to such standards. Of particular interest is the idea
that regulating the
expression of prejudice may have psychic costs, manifested
in impaired
self-regulatory function in concurrent and subsequent
endeavors. Current
research is aimed at assessing when, why, and among
whom such
self-regulatory impairment is manifested.
