I am interested in how people manage, negotiate and represent their family relationships, and the consequences this has for well-being, particularly in the context of attachment and caregiving. My recent research has focused on the influence attachment orientation has on seeking and providing care, especially in group situations, and I am currently investigating the development of parental-fetal representations using a caregiving framework.

Primary Interests:

  • Close Relationships
  • Emotion, Mood, Affect
  • Group Processes
  • Interpersonal Processes
  • Personality, Individual Differences
