Bio
My research interests focus on:
How people adjust to chronic illness, including heart disease, cancer, and currently type 1 and type 2 diabetes
The implications of gender-related traits (agency, communion, unmitigated agency, unmitigated communion) for relationships and health
I have studied how people adjust to chronic illness for over 25 years. The key feature of chronic illness is that it lasts, it is susceptible to recurrences, relapses, disease progression, and disease complications. I have studied how personality characteristics, specifically gender-related traits (see next section) and perceptions of control, influence psychological adjustment and physical health as well as the role of social environmental variables (i.e., relationships with friends, family, and peers). I have conducted support interventions that aim to enhance support from peers facing similar illness. I have examined how people construe benefits from the trauma of being diagnosed with a chronic illness and the implications of benefit-finding for psychological and physical well-being. I also have conducted support interventions that aim to enhance adjustment to chronic illness and study the role that significant others play in managing chronic disease. In my early work, I focused on adults with heart disease, breast cancer, and prostate cancer. I am currently studying both adults and children with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
