Research summary
AI-generated

Vanessa Sawicki studies social psychology, focusing on how people's attitudes and feelings—especially mixed or uncertain ones (ambivalence)—shape behavior, relationships, and political engagement. Her work examines concepts like attitude strength (how firmly and confidently people hold their views) and how uncertainty affects commitment in relationships and ideology. This research is largely experimental and conducted within personality and social psychology traditions.
