Unpublished and in Preparation (copies available for some)

"Interpersonal Perception in Sports Rivalries" written with Samantha B. Gomes.  This paper examines intergroup perceptions of Red Sox and Yankee fans.

"Issues in the Measurement of Judgmental Accuracy" invited for S. Baron-Cohen, H. Tager-Flusberg, and M. Lombardo (Eds.) Understanding Other Minds (3rd ed.). This chapter, among other things, argues that tests of judgmental accuracy should be easy and that sometimes the wrong answer should be treated as the right answer.

"The Performance of RMSEA in Models with Small Degrees of Freedom" with Burcu Kaniskan and D. Betsy McCoach.  This paper shows that RMSEA can be a very misleading measure of fit for small df structural equation models.

"Judge, That Ye Shall Be Judged:Interpersonal Judgments of Religious Characteristics within Faith Communities" with Benjamin R. Meagher.  This paper examines perceptions of members of religious communinites and shows that they are more relational than might be thought.

"Using Trait-State Models to Examine the Longitudinal Consistency of Global Self-Esteem from Adolescence to Adulthood" with M. Brent Donnellan, Kali H. Trzesniewski, Richard E. Lucas, & Rand D. Conger.

"Moderation in the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model" with Randi L. Garcia and Thomas Ledermann. A draft of this paper is available.

"A reanalysis of a behavioral intervention to prevent incident HIV infections: Including indirect and direct effects in modeling outcomes of Project EXPLORE" with Lisa Eaton, Seth Kalichaman, and Ofer Harel.  Project EXPLORE -- a large-scale, behavioral intervention tested among men who have sex with men (MSM) at-risk for HIV infection --was generally deemed as ineffective in reducing HIV incidence.  Using novel and more precise data analytic techniques we reanalyzed Project EXPLORE by including both direct and indirect paths of intervention effects.

"The Role of Physical Attractiveness in Perceiving Sexual Risk: Danger or Allure?" with Carter A. Lennon.  This paper discusses the upside and downside of physical attractiveness in sexual decision making.  The paper is currently being revised.

"Suppression: Magical or Ephemeral?" (title almost certainly to be changed) with Colin Leach.  A draft of this paper should be available in June 2012.

"The analysis of data from dyads and groups" with Deborah A. Kashy.  This is a revision of chapter originally published in the Handbook of research methods in social and personality psychology.  A draft of this paper should be available in April of 2012.

"The participant and partner in social psychology."   This paper argues that partner as well as participant needs to be included in social psychological work.  The paper is an adaptation of my address when I received the Donald T. Campbell award.  A draft of this paper should be available in April of 2012.

"Do College Student Samples Yield Different Results?" with Amanda Snook.   This paper argues that results from research using college students may not yield results that are all that different using non-college students.  A draft of this paper should be available in August of 2012.

Upcoming and Past Presentations

I will be attending the annual meeting of Modern Modeling Methods (M3) conference held at Storrs CT USA.  Thomas Ledermann and I will be discussing "Hidden Distinguishability" in dyadic data analysis.

I will be attending the biannual meeting of International Association of Relationship Researchers in July 2012.  We have submitted a symposium on the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model.

Please look for me also in the deli section of your local supermarket.

Some Old University of Connecticut Articles about Yours Truly

My election to AAAS (see the article to see what it stands for) described in the UConn advance.  See also the AAAS website.

An article in the UConn advance (a picture with me smiling).

A not so recent article in the UConn advance (the person I am talking to is not even my student!).

Two very dated articles in the UConn Advance: an honor that I received and A television show that I was on (sorry no picture!).
