Patrick J. Carroll

Patrick J. Carroll's research focuses on self-identity psychology, particularly how people revise their sense of self, manage uncertainty about who they are, and regulate feelings of personal security. This work examines topics like 'possible selves' (imagined future versions of oneself), goal commitment, and psychological preparedness for uncertain situations. The research is grounded in social psychology and draws on theoretical and empirical approaches to understand identity change over time.
