Our Functional Social Cognition Lab explores the processes that influence the selective and automatic direction of our limited perceptual and cognitive resources. We've been developing a conceptual framework that begins to articulate the role that fundamental social goals play in governing these processes. We focus, in particular, on the ways in which self-protection, mating, status-striving, social affiliation, and disease avoidance goals selectively facilitate attention toward people who have characteristics relevant to those goals.

We encourage undergraduates to get involved in research. You’ll apply the knowledge you’ve gained in the classroom to real-world situations and gain invaluable experience.
Our research extends beyond the walls of our psychology labs. Find out about Research and Education Advancing Children’s Health and the Veterans Wellness Research Center.
The goal of the Research Advancement Team is to provide information and assistance that will help our faculty locate funding, apply for grants and manage their sponsored projects.
