Research InterestsMy current research interests center around communication experiences in close relationships and include substantive areas such as romantic jealousy, attachment, and relational turbulence processes. I also study how instructional environments influence and interact with students’ cognitive load, motivation, self-regulation, and instructional dissent. To study these topics I use various latent variable modeling techniques such as factor analysis, latent growth curve modeling, and mixture modeling aimed toward producing substantive-methodological synergies.
