I am interested in achievement goals, socio-cognitive conflicts, and their impact on different outcomes including learning, interest, well being and conflict regulation strategies.

I am also interested in the ambivalence of mastery and performance goal promotion at university, and in how assessment practices can contribute to increase social inequalities between low and high status students.

Primary Interests:

  • Aggression, Conflict, Peace
  • Applied Social Psychology
  • Helping, Prosocial Behavior
  • Interpersonal Processes
  • Judgment and Decision Making
  • Motivation, Goal Setting
  • Person Perception
  • Persuasion, Social Influence
  • Sociology, Social Networks
