My research focuses on human cooperation and conflict resolution. Generally speaking, I examine theories of how features of the person and situation interact to predict behavior in social dilemmas -- that is, situations in which self-interest conflicts with what is best for the relationship or group. To date, I have applied both experimental studies and meta-analyses to examine ideas about human behavior in these situations.
