Research Interests
Amy Marshall’s research is designed to determine causal mechanisms and contextual factors that contribute to the occurrence of psychological and physical aggression in intimate relationships. A particular emphasis is placed on the ways in which psychopathology interacts with social information processing skills (i.e., individuals' ability to perceive and interpret social stimuli, then to generate, choose, and enact behavioral responses) to lead to aggression both in and outside of intimate relationships. This model includes the study of interpersonal processes (e.g., reciprocal and multiplicative communication patterns) and contextual factors (e.g., emotional arousal) that may contribute to changes in information processing skills that are particularly important to the maintenance of adaptive close relationships.
