My research approach spans macro and micro levels of analysis, with specific attention given to applying theories of group processes and emotion to improve our understanding of group cohesion, loyalty, leadership, status and influence, and identity/identification. For the most part, I am interested in how individuals make decisions about their voluntary memberships in groups and the ramifications these decisions have on their (social) self-concepts. A sizable amount of my recent work involves developing and refining time-sensitive minimally-obtrusive methodological tools and techniques to assess social concepts such as emotional response and status -- in particular, the use of vocal fundamental frequency (F0) accommodation as an indicator of one’s internalized status beliefs and others’ collective validation of status claims.
