Research
Professor Fast studies the interplay between self and society. His research examines how key elements of society (namely power and status hierarchies, social roles, and culture) both shape and are shaped by self-related processes, such as self-perception, self-image maintenance, judgment and decision making, and individual goal pursuit.
