A few words about me...

I am a fifth-year doctoral student in Bowling Green State University’s Clinical Psychology program in Bowling Green, OH. My research interests include children’s and adolescents’ computer-mediated communication (specifically instant messaging and blogging) and its relation to their aggressive and prosocial behaviors. For my dissertation, I will be examining youth's addiction to text messaging. I am also interested in school-based intervention and prevention programs related to decreasing aggression and increasing problem-solving skills and social competency. In addition to school, I am a huge fan of Philadelphia sports and everything Irish, and I love going home to Philly to spend time with my family and friends. I can be contacted at klister@bgsu.edu.
