The main focus of our research in the Social Interaction Laboratory at the University of Texas at Arlington is the study of naturally occurring social interaction. For the past several years, we have studied empathic accuracy ("everyday mind reading") and other aspects of intersubjective social cognition.
In the decade from 1975-1985, our work focused primarily on personality influences on social behavior. In this research, we used the unstructured dyadic interaction paradigm to study the influences of birth order, gender roles, and various personality traits on naturally occurring social interaction. Some of our current research continues this focus on how personality shapes our encounters with others.
