Some Current Projects

  • 1. The effect of time on trust repair strategies

    Apologies are ineffective in repairing integrity-based trust violations, or ones that are intentional. We examine if an apology is effective after giving the victim some time to process the trust violation while allowing their anger to lessen.

  • 2. Trust lessens our feelings of envy

    Following an envy-inducing event, trust prevents a person from experiencing envy and from acting on it to harm the envied party.

  • 3. Helping to repair trust when you're the third wheel

    Your co-workers aren't getting along. One violated the other's trust and now they won't work together. You're on their team, so you have to make some choices on whether and how to work with them again - do you help repair trust? Or do you leave the team?

  • 4. When it's healthy to not forgive

    Why do some people forgive and others do not? In this project, we explore the healthy side of not forgiving a transgressor and propose that sometimes it's toxic to do so.

  • 5. Gender discrimination in the legal system

    The role of gender bias in legal decisions.
