Research Interests
My research examines how individuals’ unique characteristics dynamically shape and interact with their environments to influence personality and identity development. My research draws on interdisciplinary theory and methodology, with a particular focus on charting the pathways from unexamined to examined behavior over development and across environmental contexts. Currently, I am interested in ways that gender impacts thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and trajectories of identity development.
