I am currently a fifth year Ph.D. candidate, and I am generally interested in studying means of increasing one’s openness to new people, information, and experiences. One of my projects involves assessing how one’s sensitivity to rejection might influence their willingness to engage in – and reported comfort with – online and in-person conversations with strangers. I am also interested in how we might decrease susceptibility to misinformation. Across my varied interests, I aim to focus on how social psychological findings can be utilized in interventions to improve interpersonal interactions and goal pursuit.
