All faculty (tenured, tenure-track, visiting and adjunct) are invited to complete a biography. Because we wanted to create a form that has opportunities for everyone to convey a sense of what's special and important to you, and important, in your view, for prospective students and prospective colleagues to know about you, we have several optional questions. Please complete as many optional fields as you wish.
You can create your bio or return & edit your bio from here - On to your bio...
I really enjoy collaboration with students, especially when it involves broadening my own research interests. Generally my research interests involve the self, personal relationships, and academic performance from social cognitive and motivational perspectives. I am especially interested in how theories of motivation and social influence can be applied to common social interactions such as romantic and supportive relationships, and situations in the classroom (e.g., academic honesty).
