research interests

our lab examines the accuracy of people's perceptions of their own personality. examples of research questions that occupy our thoughts:

   how well do people know themselves?

   do others know things about us that we don't know about ourselves?

   is self-knowledge good?

   how can self-knowledge be improved?

   do people know what makes them happy?

   can people change their personality?

   how do narcissists see themselves? how are they seen by others?
