About Me
I received my PhD in 1990 from Stanford University in Psychology. I worked with Phoebe Ellsworth studying psychology and law and with Amos Tversky studying mathematical modeling and judgment and decision making. I spent seven years at the University of Washington’s Psychology department, a sabbatical year at Princeton University, and have been at the University of Michigan’s Psychology department since 1997.

Research
My research interests focus on judgment and decision making (JDM). Given that so many topics in psychology are related to JDM it makes it look as though I work on many different topics. Actually, I see a simple theme across all my research. I am interested in how people make judgments and what influences their decisions and choices. More about Research >>

My textbook on data analysis for experimental design (aka ANOVA)
Here is a link to my textbook on analysis of variance. I’m currently working on a regression textbook and hope to follow that up with a multivariate statistics textbook. At that point I may turn to other kinds of books for a change of pace.
Experiments and quasi-experiments in developmental psychology
This chapter highlights design and analysis considerations relevant to many experiments and quasi-experiments in developmental psychology.
Decisions to delay outcomes: The brain, subjective value and impulsivity
This study uses fMRI and a delay discounting task to examine the role of impulsivity in how we make decisions about getting something sooner versus something better later.
Reviewing analytic models of dyadic social interaction
This paper discusses some issues relevant to the study of dyads and social interaction. We highlight some of our work on dyadic data analysis.
