My research and teaching focus is the psychology of environmental problems. Broadly, I study the gap between what we know is good for us and the natural environment, and what we actually do. I design quantitative laboratory and field studies on attitudes and behavior in social contexts. For example, social identities such as political affiliation and motivations such as the desire to feel good about ourselves can predict responses to persuasive messages and collective problems.
