I am broadly interested in how people's self-resources (e.g., feelings of self worth, self esteem, social support, opportunities to disclose) affect their judgments of and interactions with others. I apply this general interest to interracial feedback, the perception of disturbing events, forgiveness, and the use of mood as information.
