Heather Maranges
HOMETOWN: Fort Lauderdale, Florida
PhD in Social Psychology
B.S. in Psychology and M.S. in Social Psychology from Florida State University
I study cognitive resources, social cognition, and often their intersection. Specifically, my research agenda has two aims: to elucidate (a) the implications and nature of self-control resources, including neurobiological and genetic underpinnings and (b) how automatic and controlled cognitive and perceptual processes lead to particular social judgments (e.g., stereotyping, moral judgments). Much of my research focuses on sleep’s implications in those domains. I complement traditional social and individual difference methods with those of cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and genetics.
I teach Introduction to General Psychology, Social Psychology, and Psychology of Personality. I also supervise the Baumeister lab's Directed Independent Studies research assistants.
