• For many years I traveled and worked abroad as Director of International Education at the University of California, Berkeley. The work had a profound influence on my adult development and world views. It raised a number of questions which some of my research has attempted to answer. What are effects of cross-cultural experience? Does travel abroad influence creative behavior? How do different types of individuals perform abroad?
• I am also interested in the effects of parental alcoholism on personality development.
