Research interests: Greetings! As a social psychologist, I seek to answer questions pertaining to the complexities of interpersonal relationships. I am particularly interested in relational conflict and ways to manage this conflict (e.g., forgiveness and mindfulness) to promote well-being and healthy interpersonal relationships. I love working with students on their own research projects and serving as a research mentor. Although my own work focuses on interpersonal relationships, I am open to exploring various topics that interest students. I am currently working with undergraduate students on a wide variety of projects including: the impact of racial and ethnic microaggressions, sexual assault and violence among vulnerable populations, and the health benefits of mindfulness and yoga among clinical populations.Email: wkwhitaker@fhsu.edu
