Graduate Student 304 Psychology Building slmpnb@mail.missouri.edu Lab: Terror Management Theory

I work with Dr. Arndt in the Terror Management Theory lab. Broadly speaking I am interested in how the awareness of our own mortality has implications on a number of behavioral and cognitive levels. Under the moniker of experimental existential psychology I am also concerned with the more philosophical questions and enquiry into freewill, meaning in life and thanatology.
