Columbia University, Graduate School of Business www.columbia.edu/~dc2534/ What does your research focus on? I am interested in the incredible power of tiny, ordinary, nonverbal cues. What drew you to this line of research? Why is it exciting to you? I was drawn to this research because of how diagnostic these cues can be when trying to make inferences about others’ mental states. Who were/are your mentors or psychological influences? I have had so many incredible mentors and I have been influenced by so many wonderful minds — I could fill all of these pages with the names. My very first mentor was Maureen O’Sullvan. Maureen died last year.

6 centimeters could win a game, or better yet a World Cup?!
Throughout this world cup, we have seen plenty of penalty kicks. After 90 minutes of play and an additional 30 minutes of overtime, the fate of each team comes down to their ability to score a goal from only 12 yards away. The penalty kick generates a variety of strong emotions in soccer (Carroll, Ebrahim, Tilling, Macleod, & Smith, 2002), and places the goalkeeper at such a disadvantage that only approximately 18% of penalty kicks are saved (Kropp & Trapp, 1999).
