Research Interests
My interests are in the areas of emotion regulation and gender identity. Studies are conducted on the effects of arousal, cognitive processes, and attendant affect on self-defeating behavior. Relationships among these processes and personality traits are investigated, and effects of gender identity, gender role stress, and sexual prejudice on behavior are also studied in my laboratory.
