Jolie Baumann
I am a second year graduate student working toward a Ph.D in Social Psychology with Professor Dave DeSteno. My research interests center broadly around the function of emotion. For example, how emotions can effect decision making processes, influence our judgments, and effect interpersonal functioning. For my Master’s project, I am currently looking at how different emotions exert influence over very low level processes, like object recognition. My studies investigate how experiencing a negative emotion, like anger, can cause participants to make object recognition errors claiming neutral objects are violent ones (e.g. saying they saw a gun when they really saw a wallet). I am also involved in research investigating the social function of gratitude.
