Research Interests

Human beings are active agents whose thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are determined by their desires and needs. I have been conducting research to understand how motivations are expressed and fulfilled in goal pursuit and relationship processes. To fully appreciate the complexity of the motivational processes involved, my research identifies and differentiates the influences of distinct types of motivational concerns.
