Research Interests:
1. The nature of coping with psychological stress. The results of studies made in my laboratory lead to the conclusion that coping is a reaction to stress rather than a purposeful form of activity. Emotions rather than cognition seem to play a crucial role in the coping pocess., 2. Spiritualiy and health. Together with my team we have made an attempt to conceptualize spirituality from the psychological perspectve and elaborated a questionnaire to measure spirituality. Our preliminary studies have higlighted the role of spirituality in coping with somatic illness.
