My research, funded work and teaching focus is on personality, individual differences and well-being. I have applied these areas to many educational, health, and clinical domains, publishing over 200 research articles and 15 textbooks. A key feature of my work involves exploring models of resilience and the assessment of well-being.

I am an author of the textbook Personality, Individual Differences, and Intelligence
