My primary area of research interest at this time concerns behavior in social dilemma situations, and specifically justice and fairness concerns in these intriguing and ubiquitous situations of social conflict. My students and I are working to understand how those who have been harmed by defections of other group members react to these transgression -- when will they settle for compensatory justice, when will they seek retribution, and when do they want revenge. I also have a longstanding interest in prosocial behavior (see Dovidio, Piliavin,  Schroeder, & Penner, 2006, The social psychology of prosocial behavior. Mahwah, NJ: Erlbaum.), and I see the development of informal  procedural justice systems as being a facilitating factor for  promoting greater cooperation in groups.

For prospective students’ information, I will be looking to admit a new student for the 2008 Fall semester who is interested in my research on justice and cooperation.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
