I am a Professor in the School of Psychology at 国民彩票. I am an experimental social-personality psychologist. My primary research focus is on the causes, consequences, and prevention of anger-driven aggression.
Anger and aggression are serious problems throughout the world. The research in my lab has helped us understand the causes of these phenomena and how they can be regulated. My students, international and domestic collaborators and I attack the problem from behavioral and biological perspectives. Our lab has investigated anger and aggression between strangers, romantic partners, and physical and sexual aggression toward women. My lab has also studied alcohol-related aggression.
