Jennifer Crocker's research examines how people's sense of self-worth, and their goals in relationships (such as being compassionate versus self-focused), shape wellbeing, social behavior, and how people respond to threats to their social identity. Her work draws on social and personality psychology to study topics like self-esteem, interpersonal support-giving, prosocial motivation, and how these processes play out in relationships and online social media interactions.
