* B.A., San Jose State University, 1991, Psychology
* Ph.D., Cornell University, 1996, Personality and Social Psychology

My teaching specialties are research methodology, psychometrics, and data analysis. My primary research interests mirror my teaching interests. I conduct research on methods of data analysis, attempting to bring new statistical approaches to social science as well as evaluate the usefulness of existing methods. In communication, my primary interests are censorship, public opinion perception, and public opinion expression. I am greatly interested in understanding why people choose to speak (or not to speak) their opinions in public situations.
