Our faculty are actively involved in funded research and are productive, highly-cited scholars. Our interdisciplinary approach and collaborative nature lends itself to a variety of research interests including but not limited to:
Studying the cognitive, psychological, and behavioral responses related to information about social groups.
Examining morality across different stages of life and in cultures around the world, learning how our social and moral thinking is shaped by the environments we grow up in.
Developing methods for understanding social, economic, urban, transportation, and mathematical networks.
Studying the complex transactional tangle of genetic and environmental effects that combine to form our personalities.
Investigating a number of questions about personality processes, the factors that are associated with high levels of subjective well-being, and the associations between the two.
Understanding the role of students' peer networks in shaping behavior, personality, and well-being and the role of educators' networks in facilitating the adoption and use of new programs and practices.
