2004-Present Purdue University Based on the Articulated Thoughts in Simulated Situations paradigm, created a visual imagery paradigm where individuals view anger-provoking driving situations. Within this paradigm, investigated whether individuals high in anger would report more behavioral, cognitive, physiological, and emotional responses within anger-provoking situations than those low in anger. May
2004-Present Purdue
University Participated in a research group devoted to development and psychometric evaluation of questionnaires designed to evaluate skills gained by engineering students participating in a community-affiliated program. Responsibilities included experimental design and data analyses. January 2004-September
2004 Purdue University This paper investigated the relationship between various forms of anger and aggressive driving. Reviewed existing literature using meta-analytic techniques. January 2002-May

1999 Purdue University Investigated habituation of cardiovascular responses to anger imagery as an experimental treatment for individuals reporting high level of driving anger. Responsibilities included experimental design and data collection. Fall 1997-Spring
1999 California State University,
Fresno Investigated gender and ethnic differences in anger responses to a variety of anger-provoking situations. Responsibilities included experimental design, structured and unstructured interviews, data collection, reduction, and analyses. Fall 1997-Spring
