Research Program
Dr. Stanton's laboratory pioneers transdiagnostic approaches to mood and personality disorders, with particular emphasis on bipolar spectrum symptoms and externalizing behaviors. Her methodological expertise in psychometrics drives innovations in measure development and factor analytic techniques, directly informing clinical practice through improved diagnostic frameworks and assessment tools that capture symptom complexity beyond categorical boundaries.
Publication Themes
Her 2023-2024 publications reveal three convergent research strands: (1) factor analytic investigations of mood dysregulation as a transdiagnostic mechanism, (2) community-level analyses of personality disorder stigma and diagnostic accuracy, and (3) methodological advancements in psychometric modeling that address construct heterogeneity. These works collectively challenge traditional diagnostic boundaries while providing empirical foundations for dimensional assessment systems.
