Research Interests for Jorgianne I. Hicks
Research Interests: Hoyle
My primary research focuses on the influence of
rejection or exclusion experiences on self-regulation and self-esteem.
Additionally, I am very interested in the complex interplay between
self-evaluative and social comparative processes.
Recently, I have also developed great respect for
meta-analytic investigations of social psychological findings and
social policy-relevant practices. Accordingly, another one of my
academic interests has become research synthesis, broadly-applied.
This semester I am conducting my
dissertation research, examining the influence of sustained focus on
rejection cues on self-evaluative and self-regulatory outcomes.
