I
have two areas of research; Affective processes in anxiety and
pseudoscience in applications of psychology
A.
Affective processes in anxiety and related disorders
I
am collaborating with Drs. Matt Feldner and Nathan Williams (University of
Arkansas) and Bunmi Olatunji (Vanderbilt University) on the investigation
of fear and disgust in phobia, obessive-compulsive, and posttraumatic
stress disorders.. We are using experimental psychopathology methodology to
investigate the way in which these emotions influence attentional,
interpretational, and memory processes. In addition, we conducting research
on the psychometrics of and relationships between these variables.
B.
Pseudoscience in applied and clinical psychology
I am collaborating with Dr. Scott
Lilienfeld (Emory University) on a program of research that involves the
analysis of science and pseudoscience in contemporary psychology. The
topics include the empirical analysis of treatment efficacy and the
promotion of “fringe” treatments as they relate to treatments for trauma
and anxiety, and for other psychological disorders. We are also developing
and validating educational materials for the analysis of pseudoscience in
various domains of psychology.
