Research summary: My research lies at the intersection of social psychology and organizational behavior, with a focus on positive relationships in the workplace. I am interested in the psychological and nonverbal processes that occur when people are coordinated when in conversation, and within teams. To investigate such questions, I use a variety of methods, including behavioral video coding, psychophysiology, self-report, and a variety of self-report measures.
