Description of Research
My research focuses on the intersection of personality and judgment and decision making. My current research projects are concerned with predicting health and environmental behaviors with intertemporal choice (decision between immediate and future payoffs) as well as time perspective (future- versus present-mindedness). I am also interested in applications of Big Five personality and the Interpersonal Circumplex.
