My primary research program involves studying the content of social judgments, determining the accuracy of personality judgments, and identifying moderators of judgmental accuracy. Using experience sampling methods, I also examine the links between various aspects of personality and daily life behavior and emotion. A secondary focus of my work is the identification of personality traits that underlie the ability to develop and maintain interpersonal relationships and commitments.
