 Personality, mood, and transdiagnostic psychopathology assessment

I am planning to review graduate student applications for both the Clinical and Social areas of emphasis (applications due December 1, 2022). For applicants interested in the Social area, my research focuses primarily on personality assessment, but you should select Social as the emphasis area when applying. Please contact me for additional information about current lab research projects and my process for reviewing applications.
