Research Overview
Most broadly I am interested in the application of the biopsychosocial model to meaningful health-related processes, contexts, and outcomes. Three more narrowly defined areas – and the integration between them – comprise the bulk of my research program: (1) What are the effects of experiencing stress or trauma on psychological and physical well-being, and under what circumstances (and to what degree) can we observe such effects? (2) Can we assess stress, affect, physiology, and health in an ecologically relevant manner that facilitates our understanding of biopsychosocial processes as they unfold in time and in context? Furthermore, how can this approach (i.e., dynamic within person data capture) allow testing of novel practical and theoretical perspectives (including “psychologically” personalized medicine)? (3) Can psychological interventions improve health and well-being, both in healthy individuals and individuals with existing physical or psychiatric illness? My current work explores ‘just-in-time’ and dynamically adaptive interventions that are delivered in real-time in daily life using ambulatory methods.
