Norbert Schwarz
My research interests focus on human judgment, broadly conceived, including the interplay of feeling and thinking, the role of conversational processes in reasoning, and the cognitive and communicative underpinnings of self-reports of attitudes and behaviors. A more detailed description and selected papers are available on my home page.
