| I completed
my graduate training in the social
psychology
program at the University of
Kentucky in 1998. This picture
of me and my committee was taken right after I
defended my dissertation. My research interests
include culture and social behavior,
attribution, social influence, and prevention
research. More specific information about my
research interests and professional experience
can be found in my vita.
Recent
research projects include: (a) the influence
of gender on self-reported procrastination,
(b) attitudes toward women, (c) religiosity
and academic misconduct, (d) attitudes toward
police deception, (e) sexism and
religion, and (f) a cross-cultural investigation
of beliefs in a just world and empathy.
During the
Fall 2002, I earned promotion to the rank of
Associate Professor. Valdosta State University
has a social function, hosted by the office of
alumni relations, to honor those who were
granted promotion and/or tenure. During the
reception, one is given an honorary gift and
has their picture
taken with the President of Valdosta
State University and the President of the
alumni association. During Fall 2003, I earned
tenure
and attended a similar social function. In
Spring 2008, my promotion to the rank of full
professor was approved.
