Research Interests
Dr. Kuhlman studies social interdependence, with special emphasis on the
role of individual differences in social orientation in:
(a) choice in social dilemmas, (b) social judgment and person perception,
(c) interpersonal trust, and (d) emotion. Recently he has begun work on
computer simulations concerned with the evolutionary adaptive value of
various social orientations (Altruism, Cooperation, Individualism, Competition,
Aggression).
