Research Interests
Social Psychology: My main research interests consist of a social justice-oriented study of students and the influence of both internal and environmental factors on their academic outcomes. My research has focused on factors such as personality, self-efficacy, motivation, social and academic integration, absenteeism culture, gender, ethnicity, and social class in predicting students’ academic performance, university retention, and absenteeism. I derive my research from the foundations of social justice theory, stereotype threat theory, self-determination theory of motivation, theories of the self and self-construal, and theories of person-environment fit.
Industrial and Organizational Psychology: I study culture, diversity, and gender as it applies to leadership and crisis management. This research focuses on how stereotypes associated with individuals’ ethnic groups and gender influence individual and organizational decision processes regarding leadership. I am also interested in workplace motivation, leadership styles, employee satisfaction, the role of the workplace environment, and the interplay of these topics. Finally, I am also interested in perceptions of employees, potential employees, and bias in the selection process.
