Research
Dr. Doumas’ research interests include marital and family
systems, interpersonal relationships, adult attachment, chemical dependency, and
clinical outcomes. Past research addressed the topics of family violence, work-marital
spillover patterns, adult attachment, and chemical dependency. Current research projects
include 1) The Alcohol Studies Project which examines alcohol use in a community sample
using daily diary data methodology, 2) The Domestic Violence Project which examines the
relationship between domestic violence and adult attachment in a sample of community
couples, 3) The Adult Attachment Project which examines the relationship of adult
attachment and college student health (depression, anxiety, sexual attitudes, and
alcohol abuse), and 4) The Treatment Outcomes Project which examines a) outcomes in a
general psychiatric Partial Hospitalization Program and b) attrition from a Structured
Outpatient Substance Abuse Program.
