Frank McAndrew

I’m currently the Cornelia H. Dudley professor of psychology at Knox College and a blogger for Psychology Today Magazine. I’m an evolutionary social psychologist whose research is guided by the simple desire to make sense of everyday life, and I am currently studying gossip, aggression, and creepiness. You can read more about my work here: http://www.frankmcandrew.com/.
