My research reflects an overarching interest in the study of self-regulation: How people set and achieve goals. In particular, my work is concerned with the pursuit and maintenance of goals: investigating the management of multiple goals, goal conflict, and how past and future goal pursuits influence success on a present goal. Most recently, I have explored the role that self-regulation plays in the process of resistance to persuasion and attitude change. Work in my lab has revealed how resisting a persuasive appeal consumes self-regulatory resources and how exerting regulatory resources leaves one vulnerable to persuasion.
