Research Interests

Dr. Wingrove is a legal psychologist who studies 1) legal decision-making, 2) perceptions of justice, and 3) minors' interactions with the legal system. Current projects in the lab include jury decision-making regarding punitive damages, evaluation of courts' treatment of juvenile competency to stand trial, and perceptions of justice in the student conduct process.

*I am always looking for bright undergraduate and graduate students to join my lab!
