Professional
Interests
Dr.
Bauer's interests revolve around the development of self-identity
and personality. His research examines how people plan their future
(via narratives of life goals) and interpret their past (via autobiographical
memories) in ways that correspond to specific paths of personality
development. His work aims toward a scientific understanding of personal
growth, notably people's efforts to cultivate things like meaning
in life, happiness, and an increasingly deeper understanding of the
self and others. |
