Research Interests:
I am interested in studying how goals change across adulthood, and the effects of those changes on communication and decision making. I have two related lines of research. One employs field/descriptive studies to examine age-related goal changes in different sociocultural contexts. The other uses experimental methods to study the psychological processes that underlie age-related goal changes and their cross-cultural manifestations.
