My main research interests are:
--Attitudes (the influence of attitudes on behavior; implicit versus explicit measures; attitude strength: strength of the link between an attitude and the self; attitude formation)
--The influence of mood on automatic and controlled processes (automatic evaluation, attitude-behavior relations, intuitive decision making)
--Non-conscious influences on behavior (e.g. perception-behavior link, non-conscious effects of scent on behavior; non-conscious goals)
--Implementation intentions (e.g. breaking habits through planning)
--Self-construal and interpersonal closeness
