Currently Walter D. Smith Professor Emeritus from Francis Marion University and am teaching part-time at University of North Carolina-Wilmington.
My research is based mainly on theories in evolutionary psychology and social cognition, and it includes the following topics: (1) sex differences in memory for placement of concrete and abstract stimuli; (2) factors involved in vividness and detail in memories of significant others, expectation of future interaction more important than actual outcome; and (3) research on methods people use to end a relationship with a significant other.
Some of the awards I've received are the Walter D. Smith Endowed Chair in Psychology (2006), J. Lorin Mason Distinguished Professor for the 2003-2004 year at Francis Marion University, and initiation as a member of Phi Kappa Phi by Francis Marion College Chapter (1990). I also received the first "Excellence in Teaching and Dedication to Students" Award by the South Carolina Psychological Association in 1989.
