My research interests are primarily in the area of stereotyping and intergroup relations. Much of the work is focused on ingroup-outgroup differences in perceived variability (the outgroup homogeneity effect) and ethnocentrism effects. The work examines the development, representation, and use of variability information, as well as issues of stereotype accuracy. My second research area is person perception with an emphasis on factors that affect the magnitude of consensus between perceivers in their impressions of a target. Impression formation is characterized as a process of building "person models." Different perceivers form different person models even given identical information about a target.
