Research Interests
Vance Jackson’s research interests fall into two different categories. While these two categories differ in the constructs that are being studied, they are similar in that they both focus on ways that people interact with the social environments around them. Work-Family Interface One of Vance’s areas of research interest centers around the interaction of work and family roles. Couples often find it difficult to balance the demands that their work and family roles place on them. Given that satisfaction with work and family roles can impact mental health and overall well-being for both women and men, it is important to understand these challenges and to be able to effectively help individuals cope with these challenges. Vance’s research in this area has primarily focused on the influence of satisfaction with one’s work, family, and spiritual life on overall life satisfaction. In addition, Vance has also focused on the influence of traditional and nontraditional gender roles in work and family domains. Attitude Research Vance is also interested in investigating differences between negative implicit and explicit attitudes and ways that these different attitudes affect judgments people make about others. In particular, Vance has examined ways that people apply implicit stereotypes to different racial groups, athletes with disabilities, and victims of domestic violence. In addition, Vance’s research has focused on developing more effective methods of promoting prosocial behaviors.
In his spare time, Vance enjoys spending quality time with his wife and dog. He also enjoys hiking, playing guitar, reading, and playing soccer Publications
