Through my research, I seek to understand how shared attention with other agents influence what we remember, the goals we pursue, and the things we value. I investigate both the nature of shared attention—what makes attention shared—as well as how shared attention influences mind and culture.

In another line of research, I compare the power of cultural norms and personal values as drivers of human behavior. I am interested in understanding the psychological and contextual conditions that render cultural norms or personal values more powerful.

Finally, I am intrigued by the psychological consequences of cultural norm conflict -- that is, how people negotiate their way out of normative conflict.
