Profile
How well do people know themselves and others? The Self-Knowledge and Interpersonal Perception (SKIP) Lab tests if, when, and how people know themselves and other people. Specifically, we examine the bright and blind spots in self- and other-knowledge, test whether this knowledge is adaptive and if so, how it can be improved.
