Research

Teaching and Motivation in Education Lab

Much of my research has focused on student motivation and how classroom factors and culture influence the academic motivation of adolescents and early adults. I am particularly interested in differences between first, second, and third-generation students in motivation and achievement. My recent work has examined teacher identity, teacher emotions, and teacher-student relationship quality. Currently, I am conducting a mixed-method study examining how teacher identity and emotions influence the quality of teacher-student relationships in the U.S., Greece, and Germany.

Consulting

I have consulted with several businesses and organizations on a range of issues including how to enhance employee motivation and productivity, understanding adolescent development, and how to conduct statistical analyses and use statistics more effectively.
