An interdisciplinary program at the intersection of psychology and law, focusing on the cognitive and behavioral dimensions of deviance and aggression.

Research Interest
Investigating the role of personality traits in shaping adaptive and maladaptive behaviors, with a focus on the emotional and cognitive processes underlying these outcomes (e.g., anger, loneliness, and hostile rumination). My research employs multi-informant and longitudinal approaches to examine how individual differences and within-person dynamics contribute to behavioral patterns, with the broader aim of informing interventions that promote positive behaviors and reduce maladaptive ones.
