This researcher studies how people's political beliefs, psychological traits, and social attitudes shaped their responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, including social distancing behavior, conspiracy theory beliefs, and trust in leaders and scientists. Their work also touches on implicit bias and, earlier in their career, online gaming behavior. Much of the research uses surveys and longitudinal data to connect psychological factors to real-world health behaviors.
Publication output spiked in 2020-2022 during the COVID-19 pandemic but has slowed considerably since 2023, with only sporadic output in recent years.
