Scholarship

Most of Professor Hermann's research focuses on how self-evaluations are maintained and how they are related to interpersonal processes. He has become particularly interested in how people typically perceive others' evaluations (perceived esteem) and the degree to which many phenomena that are associated with self-esteem can be explained by these social evaluations. He also conducts research on how to effectively communicate expectations between students and college instructors and how such communication affects classroom outcomes.
