Dr. Karris is interested in Positive Psychology, a field that focuses on one’s strengths rather than one’s weaknesses, as well as how to cultivate happier more meaningful lives. Specifically, she has been measuring positive character traits in college students and testing how these traits relate to mental health outcomes such as depression, drinking, and anxiety, as well as well-being outcomes such as student success, happiness, and resiliency.(Source)
