My research interests focus primarily on interpersonal processes and I tend to take a person-by-situation interaction approach in most of my work. More specifically, my studies fall into three broad areas focused on: (1) the role of interpersonal expectations in social interaction; (2) motivations for volunteerism and community involvement; and (3) self-perceptions and self-regulation in close relationships. I try to utilize a blend of field and laboratory studies with the goal of contributing to the understanding of significant social issues and the advancement of social psychological theory simultaneously.

Primary Interests:

  • Applied Social Psychology
  • Close Relationships
  • Helping, Prosocial Behavior
  • Interpersonal Processes
  • Motivation, Goal Setting
  • Personality, Individual Differences
  • Prejudice and Stereotyping
  • Self and Identity
