Research InterestsBroadly speaking, my research interests center around communication experiences in close relationships and higher education contexts. Specifically, my substantive areas of interest include attachment, jealousy expression, motivation, race-focused and race-reimaged constructs, self-determination theory, and well-being.
To study these topics, I use various latent variable modeling techniques such as factor analysis (e.g., bifactor exploratory structural equation modeling framework), longitudinal structural equation modeling (e.g., latent growth curve modeling), and mixture modeling (e.g., latent profile/class analysis) aimed toward producing substantive-methodological synergies, which incorporate the latest advancements in statistical modeling to more creatively and thoroughly explore substantive issues. |
