Research interests

My research interests lie in the following areas: emotional intelligence, situational aspects of the Big Five dimensions, and scale development. With regard to emotional intelligence, I am particularly interested in exploring the ways in which high emotional intelligence may lead to positive outcomes. The personality applications of the Big Five dimensions of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness, and emotional stability have been extensively studied. A complimentary area of study focuses on the role of the Big Five in the creation and influence of situations and the interaction between situations and personality. Because accurate assessment of constructs is an essential component of research in any area, I am also interested in scale development and validation, especially for constructs that do not yet have validated measures.
