Areas of Research
My research interests focus on coping strategies, school and work transitions, and health promotion, with special emphasis on program development and on the personal and social factors promoting personal achievement. Research I have completed supports the view that variables such as stress appraisal, motivation, self-efficacy, situational factors, social factors, physiological factors and personal skills play a complex and interactive role in goal attainment.
