Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

I study how and why people revise self-views in response to social feedback. Stated otherwise, I study the social negotiation of self across the lifespan. As with any negotiation table, I view the table of identity negotiation as represented by two sides. My research represents both sides in two interrelated lines of inquiry. On the first side, I study the Psychology of the Changed. This line of inquiry explores how and why someone would revise a self-view in response to social feedback. Moreover, this line of inquiry examines the consequences of self-revision for ongoing mental health and well-being. On the flip side, I study the Psychology of the Changer. This line of inquiry explores how and why someone would try to change another person's self-views. Moreover, this line of inquiry examines the consequences of inducing self-revision in a social partner for ongoing relational satisfaction and well-being.
