Research interests

I am interested in the cognitions of rape prone men and rapists. I am interested in developing innovative, implicit research methods to measure cognitions such as Implicit Theories. In addition I am interested in the heterosocial skills of such men, and the relation these deficits have to subsequent behaviour.
