His work integrates social cognition, identity processes, and ideological development.
The recent publications highlight a strong focus on how intuitive, low-effort thinking supports conservative ideologies and the status quo, while also examining pathways to reduce prejudice through multicultural experiences and empathy. His research often employs experimental and meta-analytic methods to understand fundamental mechanisms underlying intergroup attitudes and political beliefs.
