Alexandra (Lexi) Suppes is interested in understanding what cues people use when they communicate and how those cues influence dyadic processes, such as the provision of social support. For her Ph.D thesis, Linguistic Correlates of Social Support, Lexi conducted a quantitive linguistic analysis on communication between members of close relationships with an emphasis on how support providers speak and how this influences both the speech of the recipient and his or her outcomes. During her Ph.D. training, she also conducted research on vocal cues that influence person perception and how implicit and explicit feedback shapes self-knowledge. While she is a classically trained social psychologist, she also holds a strong interest in ethics. Her post-doctoral training in medical ethics allowed her to utilize traditional techniques of social psychology to understand how social and cognitive processes can influence medical decision making that has real-world outcomes for patients.
