The Perfectly Imperfect Lab predominantly examines maladaptive expressions and features of perfectionism (e.g., personality, interpersonal style) and their implications for interpersonal functioning (e.g., intimacy, self-disclosure, help-seeking). A historically quantitative lab, we are moving into use of mixed method approaches in our work as well. We are also focused on the development of research identity (RI) in Master's level counselors-in-training.
Lab members represent diverse academic and cultural backgrounds, giving our research a significant richness of perspective and and training.
