Areas of Research Interest: Social Norms, Theory, Group Processes
|
Current Research Interests: My research focuses on social norms. Although there is widespread interest in norms among sociologists, legal scholars, and others, we know relatively little about them – how they emerge, what makes them effective, and what their relation is to law. I am engaged in a theoretically driven research program that seeks to address these questions and that uses experimental methods to evaluate theoretical predictions. I am also working on collaborative projects that apply theoretical insights to explain naturally occurring norms. Some completed and ongoing projects include explaining variation in default rates across micro-credit borrowing groups (with Denise Anthony), and explaining nations' commitment to the International Criminal Court (with Jay Goodliffe, Darren Hawkins, and Dan Nielsen).
