My current research focus is the development of self-regulation across the life span. I am especially interested in the relationship between intentional self-regulation and positive development, and my long-term research goal is to couple a nuanced understanding of self-regulation with applied interventions. I am also interested in quantitative methodology, both as a research domain and as a tool for optimizing empirical research on self-regulation. As a substantive research domain, my quantitative research focuses on expanding knowledge of latent variable and multilevel models in novel ways
