Attitudes toward Infant Feeding Methods
I investigate both implicit and explicit attitudes toward breastfeeding. Attitudes toward breastfeeding can vary, depending on the setting and what types of expectations we hold for mothers. Women face a great deal of pressure when deciding whether to breastfeed, formula feed, or use a combination of both; my research also investigates this pressure for perfection during motherhood.

Women in the Workplace
In this line of research, I am interested in how women are evaluated in the workplace and the intersection between work and family needs. For example, one study explores whether people are less willing to hire a woman who requests breastfeeding accommodations compared to other medical needs.

Attitude Transfer
When people meet a member of a social group, they can very quickly form an attitude toward this specific group member. If the person meets another individual from the same social group, they may transfer this attitude from the original individual to the new group member. My research investigates what factors may moderate this process; for example, I investigate whether voluntary group membership affects attitude transfer.
