Kenneth DeBono, the Gilbert R. Livingston Professor of Behavioral Sciences, recently had two articles accepted for publication. “Self-monitoring and Consumer Psychology” is an invited paper for a special issue of the Journal of Personality. The article reviews and integrates two decades of research on the relations between the personality construct of self-monitoring and various aspects of consumer behavior. 

“The Impact of Distractions on Heuristic Processing: Internet Ads and Stereotype Use,” co-authored with Lindsay Miarmi '04, will appear in the Journal of Applied Social Psychology. The article is Miarmi's senior honors thesis. The study shows that people are more likely to make stereotypic judgments during an on-line talk when pop-up ads are present than when they are not.
