Overview


Morgan is an identity scholar who combines language-based theories such as affect control theory and social network analysis to examine how social identities influence social interaction and social relationships. His research has appeared in Social Psychology Quarterly, Social Networks,and Computational and Mathematical Organization Theory. His dissertation examines how social categories as features of situational and group identities influence social interactions and group-level attributions. Specifically, he examines how the gender prototypicality of identities influences the impressions resulting from a social interaction, and how peer group reputations reflect and solidify racial stereotypes pertaining to aggression during early adolescence.

Building social networks out of cognitive blocks: factors of interest in agent-based socio-cognitive simulations

Journal Article Computational and Mathematical Organization Theory · June 1, 2015 This paper examines how cognitive and environmental factors influence the formation of dyadic ties. We use agent models instantiated in ACT-R that interact in a social simulation, to illustrate the effect of memory constraints on networks. We also show tha ... Full text Cite
