RESEARCH INTERESTS

Family psychology. I am working on several manuscripts emanating from MFT theses I chaired, including studies of (1) attachment security and communication modality as predictors of romantic relationship satisfaction among online couples; (2) family structure as a predictor of attachment security; (3) the effects of mindfulness-based therapy; and (4) ethical decision-making among rural mental health practitioners.

Climate change and federal debt. I am conducting several experiments (with undergraduate students) assessing the effects of several factors (including induced mortality salience, induced self-affirmation, and induced morality) on policy attitudes, including (1) support for government actions to mitigate climate change, (2) support for government actions to reduce the federal debt, (3) support for entitlement reform, and (4) the factorial structure of such attitudes.

Stereotyping and prejudice. I am conducting several studies examining (1) the variance attributable to general, ethnic, and modality factors in attitudes toward various racial and ethnic groups (with a colleague), and (2) support for police actions in ambiguous situations (with an undergraduate student).

Professional and pedagogical issues. I have recently completed work on several professional-related studies: (1) how to help students to write better in APA style; (2) the benefits of undergraduate research experiences in psychology; and (3) how to better present psychology posters at professional conventions. I am beginning new studies on (4) an updated primer on how to improve writing in APA style and (5) predicting success in statistics courses.

Statistical literacy of physicians. I am working on a manuscript and on developing grant proposals to fund research into an intervention to increase the ability of physicians to understand statistical concepts.
