My research on suicide concerns the roles of hopelessness and motivations in predicting suicide ideation, attempts, and completions. Studies involve both clinical and nonclinical populations. In test construction, my focus is on evaluating the best methods for writing individual test items. Research deals with psychiatric and nonpsychiatric applications.
Research deals with students, psychiatric patients, inmate, and job applicant populations.
