Douglas Kenrick, PhD, 1976, Arizona State University

Social Psychology

Current research interests: Integrating models from evolutionary biology and cognitive science to study the effects of fundamental social motivations (e.g., self-protection, status, mate search) on basic cognitive processes (e.g., attention to, encoding of, memory for different people in a rapidly presented crowd).
