Research Interests:
Bailee’s research aims to understand cognitive, affective, and interpersonal mechanisms underpinning chronic worry to refine cognitive-behavioural models of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Her research also tests the efficacy of short-term interventions for GAD that target these mechanisms. Current research projects in people high in chronic worry and/or GAD symptoms include understanding the nature of imagery use and the relation with worry-related processes; investigating cognitive correlates of dysfunctional interpersonal styles; and examining positive emotion regulation and the association with GAD symptoms. For her dissertation she is investigating using imagery to enhance the efficacy of cognitive bias modification to more effectively target information processing biases and worry in individuals high in GAD symptoms.
