I am interested in how people make sense of their experiential world and justify inferences and generalizations, which I have studied and written about from the perspective of attitude and impression formation, rumor and gossip, interpersonal acumen, epistemology, ethics, and data analysis. For many years, I have had the pleasure of coauthoring a writing manual for undergraduate psychology students with my wife, Mimi, and collaborating on books, articles, and studies on research methods and statistical procedures with my old friend, Bob Rosenthal.
