McConnell Department of Psychology 213 Psychology Building Miami University Oxford, Ohio 45056 U.S.A. Home Page Phone: (513) 529-2407 Fax: (513) 529-2420 My work explores (1) how nonconscious and conscious feelings and beliefs affect judgment and behavior, (2) how self-knowledge influences emotions, goals, and actions, and (3) the impact of group stereotypes and stigma on performance, with this research supported by grants from the National Institute of Mental Health and the National Science Foundation. My service to the field includes being associate editor at Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, a member of the National Science Foundation social psychology grant panel, and a member of several editorial boards. My recognitions include being named the James and Beth Lewis Endowed Professor, University Distinguished Scholar, and Professor of the Year in Psychology. In the classroom, I teach courses in social psychology, social cognition, attitudes, nonconscious behavior, the self, judgment and decision making, and group stereotyping at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Finally, my expertise has been applied to consumer behavior and to legal and trial consulting. Journal Articles: Beilock, S. L., Rydell, R. J., & McConnell, A. R. (2007).
