Research Interests
I am interested in human motivation. In my studies, I examine how personality and social factors influence how and why people behave the way they do. My work is mainly experimental and takes a broad perspective on motivation that includes social power, achievement motivation, action orientation, cognitive control, affect, working memory, embodiment, and inadvertent plagiarism.
