Fred Rhodewalt
Professor Rhodewalt conducts research on the social construction and maintenance of the self-concept. This work includes the study of self-handicapping strategies, the influence of public behavior on private self-conceptions, and social cognitive underpinnings of narcissistic behavior. An interest running through this research is the relation between self-concerns, social behavior, and physical health.
