My primary research interests are the development, improvement, and application of quantitative methods for measuring and analyzing intraindividual change and variability using psychometric methods. Some of the quantitative methods that I focus upon include P-technique, dynamic factor models, multiple-group factor models, and latent growth curve models.
Although I focus much of my attention on quantitative methodology, I am also quite interested in applying quantitative methods to substantive areas of psychology. I am especially interested in improving and developing dynamic theories of psychological phenomena such as cognitive ability, mood, affect, interpersonal behavior, and personality.
