I direct the Social Cognition Lab at Massey, and my research interests lie in investigating the cognitive and physical underpinnings of human sociality. I am particularly interested in how humans use emotional expressions (e.g., laughter, swearing) to make sense of–and influence–their social worlds.I also conduct experimental social cognition research in the areas of social pain and exclusion.
I teach courses in psychological research methods. I teach into and coordinate our second-year research methods course (175.203). I also teach into and coordinate our postgraduate research design course (175.738).
I am a senior lecturer in the School of Psychology at Massey University in Palmerston North, New Zealand. I also direct the Social Cognition Lab at Massey. I conduct research in the areas of social cognition, social psychology, and social neuroscience. I teach on topics related to research methods (e.g., design, analysis).
