Justin L. Matthews

Associate Professor of General Experimental Psychology, Department of Psychology

Disciplines

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Social Psychology

Research Interests

  • My research blends cognitive science and social psychology in the realms of spatial cognition and human depiction in popular media. I currently have two lines of research. The first line aims to better understand how people think about and use physical space in the realm of social relationships and interactions. The second examines how visual depictions of the human body, in various media, influence perceptions of physical and intellectual abilities. I have published in the areas of social distance, language use, human gesture, sexism in the media, as well as judgment and decision making.
