Current Areas of Research
My laboratory investigates the social, cognitive, and emotional factors that influence health behavior, with special emphasis on the interaction between behavior and the formation and maintenance of individual identity. My research is conducted here at Hunter, through the Laboratory for Applied Social Psychology and Health, and at the Center for HIV/AIDS Educational Studies and Training (CHEST), which I Co-Director with Hunter Professor Dr. Jeffrey Parsons. At present were are working on four main projects: a) exploring physical, behavioral, and affective outcomes associated with partner selection and sexual behavior among HIV-positive individuals; b) and integrating neuropsychological and social/behavioral approaches to understanding HIV risk-behavior among substance users; c) investigating the ways in which internal conflict (e.g. between competing desires, between personal values and perceived social norms) can impact risk-taking; and d) examining the role of immigration experiences on the health behavior and psychological wellbeing of college students who came to the U.S. after the age of 5.
