Thomas Mussweiler
My primary line of research revolves around the question of how comparisons influence different psychological phenomena. Much of my research has focused on social comparison processes by examining which standards people use for social comparison and what the consequences of such comparisons are. In addition, I have examined judgmental heuristics, judgmental correction, automatic behavior, stereotyping and affect.
