When do we trust and believe other people?
What makes some people more likeable than others?
I study interpersonal perception with a focus on why some people are evaluated more positively than others. Some results suggest that individuals' meta-cognitions and self-insights affect interpersonal judgments. For example, people are seen as highly credible when they accurately assess their own knowledge (e.g., when their level of confidence is a good indication of their likelihood of being correct). But, if people are found out to be confident indiscriminately, their credibility is essentially shot.
