Research Summary:
My laboratory explores research questions at the intersection of social psychology and public health, focusing on the cognitive and emotional strategies individuals use to cope with chronic illness. Currently, we are working on four major projects: a) examining the relationship between social cognitive processing and anxiety/depression among individuals with Parkinson’s Disease; b) exploring physical, behavioral, and affective outcomes associated with serosorting among HIV-positive individuals; c) examining the impact of prospective memory tasks (such as treatment adherence) on working memory capacity; and d) examining the role of immigration experiences on the health behavior and psychological wellbeing of college students who came to the U.S. after the age of 5.
