The lines of research I am pursuing cover a wide range of topics,
including affective information processing, automatic processes in
emotion elicitation, social comparisons, and the processing of sexually
arousing stimuli. As a general theme within all of these areas, I am
interested in the flexibility and stability of automatic processes and how
automatic processes interact with gut feelings. |
