My research attempts to deconstruct the psychological processes involved in mediated social behavior. Current projects look at the roles of self-control, mindfulness, immersion, emotion, and automaticity. From a wider perspective, this work compares how individuals communicate differentially depending on the source (mobile vs. non-mobile), the channel (face-to-face, calling, texting, email, Facebook, Twitter), and the target (individuals, groups).
