RESEARCH INTERESTS
In a very general sense, my research focuses on the immediate, episodic
experiences of people while at work. So, we have been studying people’s
emotional states at work, what influences these states and how they in turn
influence immediate work behaviors and longer term work attitudes. This has led
us to begin studying “off task thinking” or attentional focus at work,
encompassing such topics as daydreaming, rumination, stimulus independent
thought, etc. Our research questions are how off-task thinking interferes with
performance, how such thinking is driven by emotional states, and how people
are or are not able to regulate their thought content when working on tasks.
