John Edwards is a social psychologist specializing in social cognition and individual differences. His general area of research concerns the motivational and personality factors that influence how people make judgments. One line of research involves how chronic uncertainty about the causes of events influences judgments. A second line of research concerns people's perceptions of situations, with particular emphasis on how people perceive the traits (adjectival qualities) of situations.
