I am primarily interested in family violence and power, particularly in families in which there is parental alienation. My past research has explored other public health problems such as HIV prevention and intervention, and how perceptions in relationships affect risk. My research on parental alienation currently examines power dynamics and parental alienating strategies used by parents to harm their relationship with the other parent.
Primary Interests:
- Applied Social Psychology
- Attitudes and Beliefs
- Close Relationships
- Gender Psychology
