The Anger and Traffic Psychology Lab is happy to welcome our newest doctoral student: Summer Boggs. Summer was admitted to the Counseling Psychology Doctoral Program at the University of Southern Mississippi and will be joining us in the Fall. She comes to us from Kent State University where she earned her bachelor's degree in Psychology and worked with Dr. Ben-Porath.

Summer's research background includes work on self-esteem as a moderator of the relationship between perfectionism and demoralization. She is interested in risk factors for mental illness, including the identification of personality and individual difference variables that may contribute to an understanding relational aggression among emerging adults.

Congratulations to Summer on her admission to the doctoral program at the University of Southern Mississippi! We are looking forward to working with her.
