Jason is a social and personality psychologist who is particularly interested in the complex interplay between people and situations. Most of his current research examines identity and the effects of consistency motivation, but he has also studied self-fulfilling prophecies, voting behavior, sport performance, inter-cultural interactions, and romantic relationships. A guiding theme in his research is to employ creative, high-impact paradigms to investigate longstanding issues in social and personality psychology.
