Within applied social psychology, my research interests include measuring subjective life quality, meta-analyzing research on social interventions, and evaluating test validity in personnel selection. I have been involved in several large-scale research projects investigating quality of life in various populations and synthesizing quasi-experimental studies on the impact of federally mandated educational programs. I have also served as an expert witness in several court cases involving theory, methodology, and statistics in social and industrial/organizational psychology. Within basic social psychology, my research interests include savoring, positive psychology, and hindsight bias. Within the domain of personality psychology, my research interests include: Type A behavior; dimensions and processes underlying psychological well-being; and the conceptualization and measurement of cognition and emotion. For exampe, I have published articles concerning the structure of automatic positive and negative cognition (Cognition and Emotion) and the meaning and measurement of affect intensity (Journal of Research in Personality). Within the statistical realm, I am using confirmatory factor analysis to develop measurement models and refine the conceptual frameworks underlying a variety of popular measurement instruments.
