Research Interests
Methodology, quantitative, health. Much
of my published work concerns statistical methods, particularly
those that are useful in investigations involving individual difference
variables. Issues in experimental design and philosophy of science
are also of interest. Interests in substantive areas include the
interface of psychology and religion. My current research concerns
spirituality, and involves efforts to assess and promote spiritual
well-being.
