My research examines how cognition and motivation interact to produce behavior. In particular, by investigating the cognitive underpinnings of goal-pursuit, I hope to advance understanding of self-regulation - how people manage complex goal arrays. In doing so, I hope to provide insight as to why people behave in ways that are counter to their goals, as well as identify ways to boost functional self-regulation.
