My research centers on self-regulation, the pursuit of important goals and motives (like achievement, health, and romantic goals) in everyday life, and on how self-regulatory processes can shape subjective experience. Most of my work examines the role of these self-regulatory processes within the context of interpersonal relationships, such as those with family members, friends, and romantic partners. For example, I am interested in how people's relationships affect their ability to achieve goals, and in how their goal pursuits affect the quality of their interpersonal relationships.
