SCOTT ALLISON
MacEldin Trawick Professor of Psychology
|
I'm originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, although I
did most of my growing up in Los Angeles, California. The University
of Richmond has been the only job I've known, and I'm quite happy
here. The students are outstanding, the facilities world-class,
and the campus breathtakingly beautiful.
My students and I are currently involved in several research
projects focusing on the psychological processes underlying social
decision making and social judgment. In the decision making area,
we're exploring resource allocation decisions in small group
and organizational contexts. In the social judgment area, my
students and I are investigating posthumous impression formation,
the construction of men's identities, and people's tendency to
root for the underdog in competitive settings.
