My core research interests are rooted in social categorization, that is, the process and consequences of applying categories to people. My resulting work spans categorization processes in intergroup relations and comparison processes in cooperative interaction. This includes the flexible use of categories in self-definition (self-categorization), the impact of categorization on face and identity recognition (own group recognition bias), and the processing of multiple simultaneously influential category divisions (crossed-categorization). In interdisciplinary work, I apply the core processes involved in social categorization, for example comparative self-evaluation, to better understand knowledge sharing and learning in cooperative interaction.
