My research is primarily focused on the topic of personality disorder, personality traits, and personality processes. Informed through interpersonal theory, I investigate the impact personality has on social and emotional processes experienced in daily life. I am also interested in how longitudinal data (e.g. daily diary designs, ecological momentary assessment) can enhance psychological assessment, diagnosis (particularly the DSM-5 Alternative Personality Disorder model), and personalized interventions.
