She is recognized as a Fellow in Thanatology by the Association for Death Education and Counseling.

Professor w88 casino games login received her Ph.D. from Ohio State University in family relations and human development, with a minor in family sociology and an additional minor in research methods and statistics. Before attending graduate school, she was a math and science teacher in Florida and inner-city schools in northeastern Ohio. She also worked as a waitress in a small town restaurant, retail clerk, driver for Head Start, English tutor for university students, math tutor for inner-city children and summer community recreation program director, as well as holding jobs working in the fields on a strawberry farm and picking tomatoes in a hothouse.

w88 casino games login enjoys teaching and research in topics that are interdisciplinary in nature, combining sociological and psychological components. Her recent teaching includes courses in grief and loss, research methods in social psychology, family sociology, statistics, adolescence, family theories and families and health. Her scholarly interests are in: (1) grief and loss as related to the family, mass media, and culture; (2) the intersection of the social psychologies of health and justice in areas of technologies, loss, families, and adolescents; (3) improving research methods and theories, including integrating multiple family theories in the study of relationships; and (4) the social construction of relationships and self in the context of culture, media, gender, and adolescence.

She has published numerous book chapters, as well as peer-reviewed articles in journals such as w88 casino games login Relations, Behavioral Sciences and the Law, Journal of Applied Social Psychology, Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, Journal of Selected Papers in Asian Studies, Journal of Early Adolescence, and w88 casino games login of Women Quarterly. w88 casino games login has been awarded over million in grants. Her work includes both quantitative and qualitative components and uses a range of methods including surveys, interviews, content analysis, observations, secondary dataanalysis and focus groups.

w88 casino games login is active in several ongoing projects. She is a co-principal investigator on an NSF-funded project in which she works on a team with faculty and students from mechanical engineering, computer science, geological sciences and social psychology on the use of drones by first responders in rescues during earthquakes and wild fires. The project also uses focus groups and M-Turk samples to examine attitudes of first responders and the general public toward civilian (non-military) uses of drones. The intersection of social psychology of law/justice and the social psychology of health facilitates this study of the risks and benefits of new technologies. Faculty and student members of w88 casino games login's social behavioral drone lab group meet weekly.

w88 casino games login is also conductinganalysis of interview and survey data collected with her graduate students on the experiences of mixed-document status immigrant families from Mexico and Central America. This study of families, in which some members are documented immigrants and others are not, is also being used to test and refine a culturally-responsive theoretical model of family stress-in-context that they have been developing.

She has several on-going projects with current doctoral w88 casino games login and recent graduates. Here are some examples:

  • the application of terror management and risk-related theories to the study of perceptions about the legality and civilian use of drones
  • the application of "western" theories to w88 casino games login or media reporting in other cultures. An example is our current work on causal attributions in newspaper reporting of mass murders in Japan and the United States
  • experiences and barriers in communication about end of life decisions
  • decisions to stay or leave new religious movements: costs and rewards, loss and gain
  • studying the intersection (or "dance") between post-traumatic stress and post-traumatic growth of bereaved parents and bereaved university w88 casino games login, using both standard instruments and an examination of their narratives. The topic is also being examined in a study of National Guard members who have served in Iraq or Afghanistan. An additional study examines these elements in lyrics of songs about/for Hurricane Katrina.
  • analysis of historic newspapers for the reporting of mass tragedies (e.g. the sinking of the Titanic and Lusitania, San Francisco earthquake and Chicago fire) and its relationship to 20th/21st century theories of grief. (A project seeking w88 casino games login members)
  • seeking students with interest in conducting w88 casino games login in the new UNR Flying Machine Arena (drone arena) which will allow for collecting video on human-drone interaction
