Jennifer K. Bosson
My research interests include the psychological mechanisms underlying adherence to and violation of social role norms; the influence of stereotypes on people's psychological and interpersonal functioning; social factors that promote and hinder coping and recovery following self-threats; and self-esteem and interpersonal functioning.
