I am an Associate Professor of Psychology and Honors at the University of Maine where I have worked since receiving my PhD in Experimental Social Psychology from Baylor University. Most of my research in the psychology of religion investigates the ways religious beliefs and social identities interact to influence some of the greatest human goods (altruistic sacrifice, generosity, humility) and some of the greatest human ills (prejudice, discrimination, and violence). Recently I have served as a co-leader on The Open Science of Religion Project, which supports high quality, transparent research in the scientific study of religion.
