Broadly, Kaitlyn's research takes a multi-method and interdisciplinary approach to understand the factors that facilitate successful self-regulation, emotion regulation, and, well-being. She also has a strong interest in measurement (e.g., construct and ecological validity), advanced quantitative methods (e.g., multilevel SEM, Bayesian statistics), research design (e.g., experimental, longitudinal, EMA), and meta-science (e.g., transparent and reproducible research practices).
