My major research interests are the cognitive representation of interpersonal relationships and the influence of internally-represented significant relationships on attachment behaviour, self-conception, depression and social anxiety. Most recent research involves the use of game-like computer exercises to train social attention and other aspects of social information processing. For example, in research with Stephane Dandeneau we found that when people spend a few minutes locating a smiling, accepting face in a grid of frowning faces, this trains their attention so that they subsequently automatically orient toward positive rather than negative social stimuli. Moreover, when challenged with a failure, a rejection, or some other social stressor, they cope more effectively and report more positive self-esteem.
