Research Interests
Cancer Prevention & Control—Genetic testing for cancer susceptibility; impact of screening; cancer risk perception; coping with cancer and cancer treatment
Health Psychology—Biases in health beliefs and judgments; risk and health threat appraisal, symptom reporting; illness behavior; health-related memory; survey methods
Current Program of Research
I maintain two lines of research, one basic and one applied. My basic behavioral science research program utilizes the methods of laboratory-based experimental social psychology to examine how individuals appraise and react to health threats. My collaborators and I developed the first experimental paradigm to study psychological responses to medical diagnosis (Croyle & Ditto, 1990). This paradigm has been used in several studies to investigate the social and cognitive processes underlying the interpretation of and responses to health threat. I am particularly interested in how self-enhancement motives (e.g. denial and defensiveness) and problem-focused coping combine to mediate health behavior.
My applied research concerns the psychological and behavioral impact of risk factor and screening tests, including genetic testing for cancer susceptibility (e.g. mutations in the BRCA1 gene). In collaboration with several investigators, I conduct cross-sectional and prospective research that examines how high-risk individuals and families perceive cancer risk and respond to risk information. In addition, this work also has examined how long-term memory for and adherence to information provided in screening settings are influenced by social and individual factors. My most recent work has utilized family-based and population-based surveys of attitudes toward cancer genetic testing.
The overall goal of my research program is to inform both behavioral science theory and medical practice by bridging basic and applied research in health psychology and public health. The cancer prevention and control domain provides an important context within which to test psychological models, and the results of this work can be applied to achieve improvements in preventive oncology and the design and implementation of public health interventions.
