Russell J. Webster—Curriculum Vitae 2<br />
RESEARCH INTERESTS<br />
Broadly, I research how the person (personality, attributions, and attitudes) and the situation contribute to (1)<br />
intergroup negativity (primary research line) and (2) magical thinking (secondary research line). Most recently, I<br />
have focused most of my attention on investigating how, under different conditions, belief in pure evil and belief in<br />
pure good relate to aggression and prosociality. I have also disseminated research on teaching/administration in<br />
higher education and Army leadership via research fellowships.<br />
