Research
My research primarily focuses on cognitive and affective influences on health decision-making and health management. My most extensive area of my research examines health information avoidance. I examine a variety of topics such as when and why people will avoid learning their risk for disease and what information people do not want to know about the food they eat. Beyond information avoidance, I have also examined a variety of questions pertaining to perceptions of healthiness (e.g., perceptions of food healthiness) and risk (e.g., for COVID-19).
