Dr. Roche's research centers on personality disorders, personality traits, and personality processes, with a strong foundation in interpersonal theory. He investigates the impact of personality on daily social and emotional processes. A significant portion of his work focuses on leveraging longitudinal data methodologies, such as daily diary designs and ecological momentary assessment, to enhance psychological assessment, refine diagnostic criteria (particularly the DSM-5 Alternative Model for Personality Disorders), and inform personalized intervention strategies. His research bridges theoretical models with real-world applications to improve understanding and treatment of personality pathology.

Key areas include the study of within-person variability, rejection sensitivity in interpersonal contexts, and the validation of diagnostic instruments for personality disorders. His work frequently employs multilevel modeling and other advanced statistical approaches to analyze complex longitudinal data, contributing to the field's methodological toolkit.
