| Research Interests |
| My primary research interests are individual differences in cognitive and non-cognitive attributes, the implications of those individual differences, and integrative models of cross-attribute trait constellations. Much of my research focuses on the scientific, social, and developmental implications of individual and group differences in cognitive and non-cognitive (e.g., interests, values, personality) traits in the context of person-environment fit. Along a related vein, I am interested in the development of intellectual talent, particularly mathematical and scientific talent, across the lifespan. Finally, in some of my research, I am examining issues related to work-family balance, particularly how men and women view their personal and life choices in these domains similarly and differently. |
