Teaching Interests I am very interested in working with Undergraduate Psychology Majors. In addition to being fun, working with Undergraduates has provided me with a fresh perspective on many research questions and issues within Psychology. In the Past, my interactions with undergraduates have taken the form of supervising honors projects, directing supervised readings, and supervising research experience. Currently, research opportunities in my lab involve both experimental and questionaire based approaches. I continue to be interested in studying various aspects of close relationships and emotions within close relationships. Students have the opportunity to see research ideas develop and to discuss those ideas and various methods of psychogical research. I do, however, require that any student involved in directed research experiences with me be available to meet with me and my team. Many of the interesting discussions take place during this time and I view it as an essential part of the learning process. Typically these team meetings are at 11:00 on Friday mornings. If you are interested in pursuing a research opportunity I would love to hear from you.
