Research Interests
The central theme of my research is how close relationships and interpersonal functioning confer protection or risk in the development and clinical course of depression. Although interpersonal relationships are considered both a protective and risk factor for psychopathology, including depression, the mechanisms are not yet sufficiently understood. To better understand these mechanisms, my work has focused on the following three interrelated lines of clinical and basic research using experimental and naturalistic methods (e.g., fMRI, ecological momentary assessment): (1) the role of interpersonal factors in depression; (2) the cognitive-affective benefits of the social regulation of emotion; and (3) the roles of social and reward neural circuitries in rewarding and supportive social experiences. Further, I have primarily focused on examining these three lines of research in adolescence and young adulthood, as they are periods involving high depression risk, high sensitivity to social stimuli, and continued social and affective development.
