Current interests include cognitive and behavioral effects of exposure to media violence (e.g. videogames) and images of firearms, individual differences in aggressive cognition and behavior, and the application of meta-analytic techniques to the study of aggression. Increasingly, my interests are leading me to attempt to apply social psychological theories of aggression to our understanding of such phenomena as torture and genocide. I have secondary interest in political psychology, with a particular focus on right-wing authoritarianism. I was inducted into Sigma Xi in 1997. I am available for speaking engagements (my areas of expertise and interest include media violence, the weapons effect, application of contemporary theories of aggression to understanding and preventing torture and genocide, and various facets of pop culture). I also occasionally do some freelance stats consulting. If you wish to book me as a speaker or are interested in my services as a data analyst, please email or phone (see contact information above). If you are interested in any of the publications listed below, feel free to send an email to me. I will gladly send you a reprint via email or snail mail.
