	Research Interests I am interested in how people form judgments to help them negotiate our complicated, uncertain world. When does reason or intuition have the upper hand in influencing judgment and behavior, and when do the two work in tandem? How do motivational goals and cognitive processes independently and interdependently influence judgment? In my exploration of these questions to date, my research has focused on magical thinking (e.g., the belief in tempting fate), one-shot illusory correlations and stereotype formation, reactions to questionable apologies, and beliefs that people form to manage their emotions.
