| I completed my
graduate training
in the social
psychology program at the University
of
Kentucky in 1998. This picture
of me and my committee was taken right after I defended my
dissertation.
My research interests include culture and social behavior, attribution,
social influence, and prevention research. More specific information
about
my research interests and professional experience can be found in my vita.
For 2008, I am
involved with several research projects: a) the influence of gender on
self-reported procrastination, b) attitudes toward women, c)
religiosity and academic misconduct, d) attitudes toward police
deception, e) sexism and
religion, and f) a
cross-cultural investigation of beliefs in a just world and empathy.
During the Fall 2002,
I earned promotion to the rank of Associate Professor. Valdosta State
University has a
social
function, hosted by the office of alumni relations, to honor those who
were granted promotion and/or tenure. During the reception, one is
given
an honorary gift and has their picture
taken with the President of Valdosta State University and the
President
of the alumni association. During Fall 2003, I earned tenure and
attended a similar social function. In Spring 2008, my promotion to
the
rank of full professor was approved.
