My research interests focus on two main areas: (a) career development over one’s lifetime and (b) the interface of the Internet and psychology.

In career counseling psychology, I investigate career decision-making processes, how people cope with career indecision, the meaning of work and higher education, career transitions, career barriers, career aspirations, and career development for marginalized social and cultural groups.

In Internet psychology, I investigate identity exploration in cyberspace, adolescents’ prosocial behaviors online, and support-seeking behaviors online. It also examines empathy in online communication, social networking sites, and well-being.
