Patrick Gallagher

Research Summary:
I am interested in social, neurocognitive, and personality psychology, especially in those areas where all three intersect. I am currently involved in research investigating 1) attentional scope, judgment and decision-making and other social cognitive functions, 2) stability and predictability of patterns of behavior over time, and 3) the nature and function of personality traits.
