Education		Research Interests
Ph.D., Arizona State M.S., University of North Carolina at Greensboro B.S., University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana		The importance of personality and achievement motivation theories such as Elliot’s (1999) achievement goal framework in the context of lifetime physical activity as well as competitive sport is the focus of my research. For example, my research group is focused on developing intervention strategies based on personality and achievement goals within the Transtheoretical Model to enhance the perceived physical abilities that we have found to consistently be the most discriminating and predicting variables of stage based exercise participation.
