Research Interests

 

Overall, my research consists of examining the psychology of violence against women. An important focus of my research is investigating how the context surrounding incidents of violence against women shapes the perception and experience of unwanted pursuit, stalking, and sexual aggression. What are the risk factors for unwanted pursuit, stalking and sexual aggression? What are the interactions like between the perpetrator and the victim? How do interactants and observers judge these interactions? To answer these questions, I have conducted multi-method investigations of predictors and perceptions of sexual aggression, unwanted pursuit, and relational stalking.
