RESEARCH INTERESTS
My interests span both explicit and implicit attitudes, with a particular focus on their
instruments of measurement (e.g. the Implicit Association Test, IAT) as well as on the
different psychological paradigms to influence and modify them. I am also interested in
the different features of evaluative conditioning and evaluative learning: in this field of
research, I am currently working on the use of the Self Referencing task (Prestwich,
Perugini, Hurling, & Richetin, 2010), specifically investigating its potential effetcs in
shaping and affecting both attitudes and behaviors.
