Research Profile

Dr. Venter's research interests fall in two broad areas: Social and Quantitative Psychology. Within the domain of Social Psychology, he has examined the manner in which factors such as the affective quality and the valence of interactional outcomes influence how we form impressions of other people. This research is in the process of comparing two basic models (assimilation-contrast models versus polarization models) of impression formation in terms of their ability to adequately explain the process of impression formation. Within the domain of Quantitative Psychology, his interests are in the areas of statistcal power within the domain of small sample research.
