Research Interests

My interests are in the areas of Behavioral pharmacology, emotional regulation, and gender identity. Studies are conducted on the effects of alcohol intoxication on arousal, cognitive processes, and attendant affective and behavioral responses. Relationships among these processes and human aggression are investigated. Effects of gender identity, gender role stress, and sexual prejudice on behavior are also studied in my laboratory.
