I am interested in human motivation, specifically intrinsic motivation and achievement motivation. I study how different kinds of performance evaluation and feedback influence an individual's interest in an activity, and how interest develops over time. For example, I study how goal-setting, rewards, and competition influence task enjoyment, and how personality variables moderate these effects. I am also interested in motivational issues in educational psychology. My graduate students and I do experimental laboratory studies as well as longitudinal studies in college classes.
I am currently the Editor of Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.
