Prospective PhD Students
Admissions decisions at Yale SOM are not made by individual professors but instead by the department as a group.
We have a policy of not talking to individual candidates in advance to avoid giving unfair advantage to any of the applicants.

I will be reviewing PhD applications for admission in the coming admission cycles. My current work focuses primarily on how individuals learn and perceive social norms.
I consider the following two papers to be most representative of the work I plan to complete in the future and the type of work on which I'm most excited to collaborate with doctoral students:
1. Dannals, J. E., Reit, E. S., & Miller, D. T. (2020). From whom do we learn the norm? The role of hierarchical rank in social norm perception. Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, 161, 213-227.
(article) (data & pre-registrations) (recorded talk)
2. Dannals, J. E., & Miller, D. T. (2017). Social norm perception in groups with outliers. Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 146(9), 1342-1359.
