summa cum laude

Year admitted into PhD program: 2003

Current research interests:
My research interests have evolved from my early work with pre-professional ballet dancers at risk for developing eating disorders. Working with adolescents in an environment that reinforced extremely traditional norms of femininity raised many questions regarding the role that gender role conformity plays in mental health. Specifically, I have been interested in the link between gender role conformity and the concept of “loss of voice” that has been noted in some adolescent girls. My practicum at the Stone Center gave rise to a focus upon research and clinical applications of the relational model, which later provided a basis for my work with adolescents from the Middle East through the “Seeds of Peace” program. Currently, I am happily exploring the intersections between my research interests as I study how gender role conformity predicts the distress experienced by heterosexual couples in the wake of an infertility diagnosis, as well as the impact that this distress has upon the relational health of their marriages.

Vanessa Scaringi, B.A.

Education:
Bucknell University & Florida State University,
B.A. in Psychology

Year admitted into PhD program: 2006

Current research interests:
I am broadly interested in how an adherence to strict gender roles can impact mental health. Within this area, I have explored the psychological implications of non-traditional roles such as stay-at-home fathers. I also have interests in women's health issues, specifically body image and eating disorders. Additionally, I am interested in how women's mental health is affected by the media and other cultural messages they experience. Recently I have been interested in learning more about competition among women and how this form of competition can affect women, specifically how it affects their body image and eating disorder behaviors.

Education:
Wayne State College, B.S. in Psychology
University of Nebraska-Lincoln, M.A. in Counseling Psychology

Year admitted into PhD program: 2006

Current research interests:
Currently, I am interested in the effects of ideal media images on men's body esteem and self-esteem, as well as factors that influence men's susceptibility to such images (e.g., gender role conflict, drive for muscularity). I am interested not only in ideal physical images in the media, but also images of men who are depicted as wealthy and prestigious. I have interest in many other topics in men's studies, including: men and depression, the Real Men. Real Depression. Campaign, men's help-seeking (or lack of), and marketing mental health to men. I aim also to begin studying how men express themselves in different situations and among different people, and I am hoping to create some type of educational intervention that teaches traditional men to let down their guard or masculinity to at least someone (e.g., friend or partner) when in need of emotional support or help. I label such behavior "code-switching." I believe these types of interventions will be crucial to the future of education and health if men are to function more efficiently and with fewer emotional and behavioral problems.

Education:
University of Puget Sound, B.A. with Honors in Psychology and Communication Studies

Year admitted into PhD program: 2008

Current research interests:
In general, I am interested in researching alternative approaches to increasing male investment in mental health services. Of particular interest to me is how formal and informal services can work together to enhance males’ motivation to take part in their treatment. I would also like to consider approaches that include family involvement in treatment planning, service provision, and ongoing support for the client’s development. In the long-term, I hope to explore the ways in which adventure-based therapy might serve as an alternative method for increasing young adult males’ motivation to take part in mental health services.

Erin Dawna Reilly, B.A.

Education:

Clark University

B.A. in Psychology, Women & Gender Studies


Year admitted into PhD program: 2009

Current research interests:

I am currently interested in the ways in which men from specific

backgrounds negotiate and navigate hegemonic masculine norms. 

I am especially interested in the ways men who are subverting

traditional masculine ideology conceptualize their own masculine identity,

and how this affects their well-being.  Additionally, the ways in which men do (or do not) seek help from mental health professionals is extremely important to me.  Consequently, I am hoping conduct research that will better facilitate the needs of men, while taking into account their unique societal location.

The University of Texas at Austin

B.S. in Advertising                                                      

Year admitted into PhD program: 2009

Current research interests:
My current research interests broadly focus on the effect

of adherence to traditional male gender roles on men’s

mental health. I am specifically interested in studying the differences in how men self disclose depending on social contexts and theirendorsement of masculine norms. Men that endorse values such as stoicism and avoidance of emotional vulnerability may consequently avoid self disclosure of a personal nature. Empirical evidence indicates that such inhibition is related to both mental and physiological health problems, furthering my interest in this topic. I am also interested in researching men who are in non-traditional occupations and the psychological buffers that allow them to succeed in such professions despite potential stigmatization.

Current research interests:
My research has focused on gender role norms and expectations, particularly masculine gender role socialization.

Dissertation Title:

Current Employment:

Education:
The University of Texas at Austin, Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology
The University of Texas at Austin, M.A. in Educational Psychology
Northwestern University, B.S. in Communication
University of Stirling, Scotland, Study Abroad

Current research interests:
My research interests involve two main areas. One area looks at gender role socialization and its influence on a variety of men’s issues such as seeking help, nontraditional work/family roles, experience of depression, etc. Previous projects have examined executive coaching as a treatment modality for people resistant to seeking other forms of psychological help, and a series of studies investigating the experiences of stay-at-home fathers. I am also interested in ways to make traditional therapeutic services more accessible to a broader range of men and presenting concerns.

My other area of interest relates to the research and practice of behavioral health psychology. I am currently working on a project exploring the effects of social support through online networking on physical and mental health outcomes (e.g., depression, illness). I am also working with undergraduate research assistants to explore the use of heart-rate variability biofeedback as an stand-alone and/or adjunct treatment option for a range of presenting concerns (e.g., anxiety, anger, emotional dysregulation) on adolescents and young adults.
