Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Mikayla Tolliver's research investigates the intersection of the immune system, psychological well-being, and social perception. Her work explores how physiological states, such as immune responses triggered by vaccinations, can influence cognitive functions like inhibitory control and social judgments. Specifically, her publications examine vaccine-induced cytokine activity and its association with negative evaluations of job applicants, particularly those from minority ethnic groups. Tolliver also studies the effects of immune system activation on cognitive processes, including inhibitory control, and has examined the relationship between sleep disturbances and stress reactivity. Her research also extends to the influence of hormonal factors on physiological responses and social behavior, including the impact of different contraceptive methods and the menstrual cycle on cortisol reactivity and affiliation trends. Collaborations include work with Anastasia Makhanova, Colton L. Hunter, Grant S. Shields, and Arial Bloshinsky.
