Dr. Jaimie Arona Krems is an Associate Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), specializing in Social Psychology and Social and Affective Neuroscience. Her research explores evolutionary and computational approaches to understanding human social dynamics, with particular emphasis on friendship psychology, gender-specific social navigation, and social perception biases.
Her work systematically addresses three domains: (1) the psychological design for solving friendship-related challenges (e.g., selection, retention, competition), (2) women's strategies in affiliative and rivalrous relationships, including non-physical bargaining tactics like the "silent treatment," and (3) how rapid social perception systems contribute to prejudice and stereotyping, especially for women. She employs experimental methods, computational modeling, and evolutionary frameworks to uncover these mechanisms.
Recent publications focus on friendship jealousy as a tool for maintaining relationships, gendered attribution of parental responsibility, and computational models of concealed ovulation. These studies span journals like Evolution and Human Behavior, Psychological Science, and Nature Human Behaviour, integrating topics such as social threat detection, stereotype validation, and behavioral economics.
