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, dissent, jealousy expression, motivation, race-focused and race-reimaged research, self-determination theory, and well-being. 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.
