Sam Gosling
SAM GOSLING, Ph.D., is a professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. His work has been widely covered in the media, including The New York Times, Psychology Today, NPR, and “Good Morning America,” and his research is featured in Malcolm Gladwell’s Blink. Gosling is the recipient of the American Psychological Association’s Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contribution. He lives in Austin, Texas.
For the last ten years Sam has been studying how people project (and protect) their inner selves. By exploring our private worlds (desks, bedrooms, even our clothes and our cars), he shows not only how we showcase our personalities in unexpected–and unplanned–ways, but also how we create personality in the first place, communicate it to others, and interpret the world around us.
