Research Interests

Dr. Fabrigar’s primary research interests fall within the domain of attitude and persuasion research. Within this domain, his research has investigated the effects of attitude structure and social context in regulating the susceptibility of attitudes to persuasion and the impact of attitudes on behavior, judgment, and information processing. His research has also explored methods of measuring attitudes and their underlying structural properties. Other research interests include the psychological mechanisms underlying social influence tactics, the relationship between personality traits and the self, the role of attachment style in relationship processes, and methodological issues in the application of statistical methods (e.g., factor analysis and structural equation modeling) to psychological research.

Devin FowlieDevin Fowlie

Devin obtained a Bachelor’s degree from Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, Nova Scotia where he completed an honours degree in psychology and a major in religious studies. As a Master’s student in Dr. Fabrigar’s lab he is, perhaps unsurprisingly, interested in attitudes and persuasion. Devin’s research focuses on the effects of attitude strength, accessibility, and extremity on information processing. Devin looks forward to growing his research interests alongside the other members of the Fab lab team.
