Research program

The Laboratory for the Study of Self-Perception and Other-Attribution in Context (SPOAC) conducts research that broadly integrates clinical, personality, and social psychological perspectives. Specific foci include contextual and prejudicial factors influencing blame and responsibility (culpability) attribution; self-blame, coping, and resilience in victims and socially marginalized persons; personality, prejudice, and prejudice reduction; narrative phenomenology and research methods; and, application of these issues to clinical and clinical-forensic domains.

For example, recent research within the lab has focused on the following specific topics:

• Sexual assault, stigma threat, posttraumatic growth, and sexual revictimization

• Measurement of racist sexuality stereotypes and assessment of their influence on sexual assault victim culpability attribution

• Sexual assault legal context and victim culpability

• Development and validation of a culpable control scale of blame

• Personality and situational predictors of sexual prejudice and prejudice reduction

• Ethnicity and posttraumatic growth
