About
Associate Professor
I study the effects of childhood and current environments on parental investment, interpersonal relationships, and self-regulation. My main emphasis is on the psychological and behavioral consequences of exposure to unpredictability or morbidity and mortality in one's close environment. My research is interdisciplinary in nature. As such, it combines theories and methods from various fields such as social psychology, developmental psychology, evolutionary psychology, family studies, and relationship science. In my work I employ a variety of research designs, including lab experiments, longitudinal, and dyadic designs.
