Some of my work deals with negotiation as a way of managing interpersonal and small group conflict, and has examined the motivational bases of information processing, and the strategic choices negotiators make. Other research has examined the effects of epistemic and social motives on information dissemination and the quality of decision making in groups. A third line of work deals with the effects of minority dissent on majority member's cognitive processes, judgments, and attitudes. Finally, and most recently, I have conducted research into the psychological foundations of creativity and innovation both at the individual and small group level. I have been president of the International Association for Conflict Management (2001 - 2003), and served as associate editor for the Journal of Organizational Behavior (2002 - 2004), and for Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin (2005 -- 2008). I'm currently serving a three-year term as president of the European Association for Social Psychology. Journal Articles: Baas, M., De Dreu, C.K.W., & Nijstad, B.A. (2008).
