RESEARCH

Shauna is interested in studying personality as a framework for understanding psychopathology throughout the lifespan. In particular, her graduate research has focused on the relationship between personality traits and childhood internalizing problems, such as depression and anxiety. Under the supervision of Jennifer Tackett, she is currently examining how personality interacts with psychosocial factors, such as social support, to predict the stability of internalizing disorders throughout development.
