Research Interests and Scholarship
My
research interests focus on a core theme of social relationships in a social
context. I seek to understand the ways
in which stress impacts social relationships and, in turn, affects health
outcomes. Moreover, I am interested in
understanding how these processes are altered by various social contexts, such
as socioeconomic status and gender.
Thus, my research over the years has covered topics including adult
attachment, attributions, perceived stigma, poverty, discrimination, gender
attitudes and multiple dimensions of social support.
Baby
T.I.M.E. Study – I am currently in the process of conducting a study to
understand how couples make the transition to parenthood. We will be interviewing approximately 100
married/cohabiting couples who are expecting their first child. Interviews will be conducted at the beginning
of the third trimester, 1-month, 4-months, and 9-months postpartum. Susanne Biehle (a graduate student in my lab)
is the Project Director for this study.
If you have any questions about the study, please feel free to contact
me or Susanne at babytime@kent.edu.
