Dr. Proudfoot's research examines stereotyping and inequality, creativity evaluation, and motivational underpinnings of organizational attitudes and behavior. She is particularly interested in understanding how organizational contexts, cultures, and practices may create biases in evaluations of members of historically underrepresented groups, such as women and racial/ethnic minorities, and the impact of these biases on minorities’ access to organizational resources and rewards. Her work has been published in journals such as Psychological Science, Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, and Research in Organizational Behavior.
