My interests focus on empathic processes (perspective taking, empathic emotion, and empathic accuracy), and their effects on social attitudes and caregiving behavior. My current research examines (a) strategies for preserving medical students' empathic reactions and reducing burnout, and (b) how a patient's stigmatizing characteristics can influence physician's interpretations of patient complaints.
