Joined Washington State University in 1996
Overview: My primary research interests include (1) social influence, (2) possessions and brands, (3) marketing and public policy. Current research projects investigate: the theoretical underpinnings and practical application of the question-behavior effect, the influence of price endings on consumer choice, the theoretical processes underlying the concept of ownership, and the evaluation of objects, brands, and gifts.
