My research is broadly in the area of clinical health psychology. I currently have the following three research streams. Please email me if you have any questions about my research or are interested in collaborating: lastutts@davidson.edu

  • BODY IMAGE & HEALTH: Body image and disordered eating are common problems in women. I conduct studies on social media, self-compassion, body talk, and weight stigma related to the variables of body image and disordered eating.
  • POSITIVE OUTCOMES AND STIGMA REDUCTION IN MEDICAL POPULATIONS: I have most recently conducted studies examining positive variables among individuals with Parkinson’s Disease, healthcare stigma and discrimination, and how disability representation affects stigma.
  • STRESS & RESILIENCY: I most recently have conducted studies about self-compassion and growth mindset in reducing stress among young adults.
