Beth Morling
Recently, I've investigated the concept of psychological control from a cultural psychological perspective. I am interested in how people choose to adjust to environmental realities. My research focuses on cultural, subcultural, and role demands that influence people's control choices. I have investigated the impact of cultural (specifically, Japanese and North American) and individual variables on control.
Primary Interests:
