Teresa Garcia-Marques
My main interest is to understand the role that feelings have and exert on cognitive processing. Congruently, my research projects focus the study of the role of familiarity, affect, and emotion in areas such as persuasion and impression formation. Ongoing work includes, however, other topics such as the interplay of variables influencing the processing of persuasive messages; suppression of thoughts and their subsequent impact on the persuasiveness of heuristics or on the use of stereotypes; the role of familiarity on interpersonal attraction; and affective priming on persuasive contexts.
