The main focus of my research is on the impact of self-regulation processes on social interaction and intergroup behavior. As a part of this I have been studying social interaction via computer-mediated communicaiton. My research covers the effects of self-regulation and mindsets on social discrimination, prejudice, and intragroup processes (e.g., knowledge exchange), the regulation of the social self as well as the impact of self-regulation in the context of social power and leadership. Moreover, I have conducted research on the role of automaticity in creativity and stereotyping as well as on the impact of social comparison on collaborative learning.
