I primarily teach research methods. My research interests focus on causal models and causal inference, test validity, statistical inference, and applications of latent variable modeling. I also have interests in discursive psychology, organizational culture, partner abuse, deception detection, language, logic, ethics, policing and jurisprudence. My research on causation emphasizes causal pluralism by exploring alternative causal interpretations linking statistical models to substantive explanations. My research on test validity articulates and clarifies unanswered questions in validity theory such as the roles of facts and values and the meaning of tests scores. My research on statistical inference seeks to inform research practice through better understanding of inductive inference. My collaborative research includes research on partner abuse with Chitra Raghavan and Katie Gentile and deception detection with Martha Davis. I am currently serving as associate editor of Psychological Methods and of
Structural Equation Modeling.
