My research expertise is in the area of attitudes and persuasion. In particular, I pursue applications related to health communication and behavior. Current problem domains include organ donation, cancer screening, and hand-hygiene compliance in medical settings. In all these problem domains, we are trying to uncover complex interactions among relevant personality attributes using decision trees and other segmentation methods-- with the ultimate goal of developing more appropriate strategies for intervention and message design.
