Through my research, I seek to understand how and why humans socially share their worlds and minds with one another.
I have received NSF funding (BCS-1749348) to pursue research on disambiguating the effects of shared attention from mentalization in respect to attitudinal extremetization. A description of the planned research can be found here: Social Bases of Attitudinal Extremetization: Shared Attention versus Attitudinal Simulation, 2018-2021.
