Areas of Competency and Specialization:

Broadly, my research interests include depression and the relations among the illness, elements of personality, stigma, and the depression care delivery system. More specifically, over the past several years my research has emphasized three areas. First, I examined personal style, a theory of depressive vulnerability that identifies elements of personality that predispose persons to depression. Interpersonal relationships are central to the self-concepts of highly sociotropic individuals, and independent achievement is essential for highly autonomous persons. In accord with their predominant personalities, sociotropic and autonomous individuals are hypothesized to develop depression following interpersonal and achievement-oriented stressors, respectively. Following early work that aimed to clarify the depressogenic elements of these personality types, I became interested in why some highly sociotropic or autonomous people appear resistant to depression. This interest inspired an investigation of the degree to which goal-directed cognition (i.e., hope) buffers depression among those with existing vulnerability. Whereas cross-sectional results suggested that hope might confer depressive protection under some circumstances, results of a follow-up laboratory study suggested the possibility that high levels of hope yield more extreme negative responses to stressors than low hope. Third and most recently, I have pursued health-services research to understand better the intersection of social psychology, depression, and the healthcare delivery system. Although my health-services research experience includes several issues related to depression care, my current focus is on stigma as a barrier to optimal depression treatment. Data collection is currently underway for a project to determine if different treatment delivery options yield different degrees of stigma. This research aims to maximize depression treatment engagement by identifying and implementing care delivery methods that minimize stigma.
