Research Summary:
 I am interested in personality and self-regulation, especially in those areas where the two intersect. I am also interested in decision-making, especially where self-regulation is involved. I am currently involved in research investigating 1) the nature and function of personality traits, 2) the self-regulatory mechanisms of both variability and stability in behavior, and 3) self-regulatory influences on decision-making.
