RESEARCH INTEREST
Dr. Dickerson's research integrates psychological and biological levels of analysis by applying theories of social and emotional processes to the context of stress and disease. She examines how social-evaluative threat and accompanying self-conscious emotional responses affect physiological outcomes, and how individual differences may heighten vulnerability to these psychological and physiological changes. .
