Dr. TYLER G. OKIMOTO is currently a Lecturer in Management in the business school at the University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia. He received his Ph.D. in social and organizational psychology from New York University in 2005. Prior to joining the faculty at UQ, Tyler worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the School of Management at Yale University, and in the School of Psychology at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia.

Tyler's research investigates the conditions under which the deviant attitudes and behaviors of others are threatening to an individual's sense of self and identity, eliciting feelings of outrage, injustice, indignation, and/or a desire for some sanctioning response. His research uses experimental social-psychological approaches to explore interdisciplinary questions fundamental to criminology, management, and public policy.
