I am a health psychologist and a social psychologist. My primary interests are in stress psychophysiology, cardiovascular health, and pregnancy. My research focuses on interactions among multiple psychological (emotions, appraisals, motivation) and physiological (autonomic, cardiovascular, neuroendocrine, and immune) responses to stress. The goal is to understand how these interactions impact health. Current research involves the effects of stress in the natural environment on pregnancy outcomes, the effects of social support on physiological reactivity, and associations between stress psychophysiology and personality, emotions, and daily experiences. I use laboratory, daily diary, and on-site methods in my work and collaborate with local hospitals to recruit patient populations for pregnancy research.
