Research

My research examines how interpersonal and mediated communication shape individual well-being, social cohesion, and societal resilience. Guided by a systems perspective, I view these domains as interconnected, with changes in one potentially influencing the others. While communication remains the central focus of my scholarship, I also investigate the psychological and social processes operating within each domain, as well as the relationships connecting them. This perspective further informs my approach to developing interventions, which may target specific processes within a domain or the pathways linking different domains. Through this work, my research seeks to identify ways to foster flourishing individuals, more cohesive communities, and resilient societies.
