Research
Interests
My primary interest is in the study of health
behavior from a social psychological perspective. Much of my work in health
psychology has concerned sexual risk reduction in populations at risk for
the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other sexually transmitted
diseases (STDs), with a concentration on the promotion of condom use
behavior. I am also interested in the promotion of physical activity. With
colleagues in clinical health psychology, exercise physiology, and
molecular biology, I have developed a program of research that assesses
differential psychological and physiological responses to exercise, and the
possible genetic and biological substrates of those responses. All of my
research in health psychology has the goal of developing models of behavior
that can be used to design, implement, and evaluate theory-based and
empirically targeted behavior change interventions to improve health
behavior. In line with these goals, I am interested in statistical and
methodological issues encountered in prevention and field research, and
have specific interests in structural equation modeling and mediational analysis of intervention effects.
My
secondary interests encompass evolutionary social psychological topics
including the study of attraction, mating, and romantic relationships, and
the possible influence of our evolutionary history on current mating
behavior.
