Dr. Nangle's research centers on social interactions, adjustment, and evidence-based interventions, with extensive publications on social skills assessment and treatment. His current work emphasizes social problem solving (SPS) and internalizing distress including depression and social anxiety, while maintaining active interests in ADHD, cognitive behavioral therapies, self-regulation, emotion regulation, and the physiological manifestations of stress such as gastrointestinal distress.
