My research focuses on the regulation of the self in the context of close relationships. I am interested in both how the self impacts close relationships and how close relationships impact the self. Currently, I am using the individual differences variable of narcissism as a window into the interpersonal implications of an inflated self-concept. I am also interested in self-esteem, self-control, and entitlement.
Primary Interests:
- Close Relationships
- Interpersonal Processes
- Person Perception
