I am primarily interested in using and testing social psychological theory in important "real world" settings and, when necessary, creating new conceptual models. My major present interest is health behavior change. Work has focused on understanding the dynamics of, and changing, HIV risk behavior. In this realm, I have been awarded over $15 million in grant funds from NIMH. Future conceptual and intervention work will focus on increasing medical adherence. Other interests involve prosocial behavior (particularly recipient reactions to help), and environmental psychology.
