Current Research

My research focuses on the effect of motivation to justify the socioeconomic system on denial of environmental problems, such as ecological destruction and global warming, and resistance to implementing imperative pro-environmental changes to the status quo.

 

In addition, I conduct research on the processes and consequences of system justification for self and group attitudes among immigrants and low status group members.

 

Finally, I am interested in understanding the relationship between implicit and explicit manifestations of system justification, and the moderating role of people’s motivation to control system justifying reactions.
