Julie Longua Peterson publishes research article in 'Journal of Experimental Social Psychology'
Julie Longua Peterson, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Psychology, recently published an article with student co-authors Alex Bellows and Shelby Peterson, both psychology majors in the class of 2014.
"Promoting Connection: Perspective-taking improves relationship closeness and perceived regard in participants with low implicit self-esteem" appears in the January 2015 issue of the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology.
The group’s research suggests that perspective-taking is an appealing and potentially implicit mechanism for promoting connection in the relationships of people with low self-esteem.
