Mike Prentice (PhD)

I am interested in how people maintain a subjective sense of a meaningful world and personal efficacy in the face of an objectively indifferent universe. To that end, I examine the factors that underlie people’s responses to self-threats in terms of personality variables and neurological processes as well as where people turn under threat to continue holding onto their subjective sense. Mike is currently a postdoctoral fellow.
