Personality and Performance Research Lab

My research is interdisciplinary as it combines the study of both personality and human factors. I primarily study traits with biological and perceptual bases (e.g. extraversion, anxiety, and neuroticism) and am particularly interested in research employing human performance and psycho-physiological measures. My current research focuses on behavioral aspects of individual differences, examining specifically mediating effects on performance in response to workload variation. Other research projects involve the study of self-esteem and social support.
