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: I conduct studies on social media, body talk, and weight stigma related to body image and disordered eating.
• STIGMA REDUCTION IN MEDICAL POPULATIONS: I examine stigma among chronic illness and disability communities.
• STRESS & RESILIENCY: I research self-compassion and resiliency among young adults and medical populations.
