The overarching goal of Person and Context (PAC) Lab is to examine the processes - those that are affective and automatic as well as those that are cognitive and controlled - that shape people's experiences.
Given that many of these processes are occurring at an automatic and at times unconscious level, ongoing projects in the PAC Lab draw from research and theory from social and personality, cognitive, developmental, and most recently cognitive neuroscience.
Some of the topics currently being explored are:
• Mental Representations of Self and Others More Information
• The Social Regulation of Emotions More Information
• Delay of Gratification More Information
• First Impressions More Information
• Perceptions and Reactions to Ambiguous Exclusion More Information
