Research Interests

I specialize in predictors and perceptions of unwanted pursuit, relational stalking, and sexual aggression. I have three general lines of research. The goal of one area is to identify theory-driven predictors of perpetration of unwanted pursuit. Fewer researchers study perpetration than victimization, but we may learn a great deal more by studying those who initiate the behavior. A second line of research examines the real-world consequences of misperceptions of relational stalking, including how a previous consensual relationship shapes people’s perceptions and victims’ experiences. The third area of research concerns perceptions of and predictors of sexual aggression. Studies in this line of research have included specifying what discriminates men who use force or manipulation as assault tactics and investigating high school coaches’ perceptions of sexual assault.
