Social Support, Social Constraint, Chronic Pain, Psychological Well-Being, Stress
Cristopher Lance is a first-year Clinical Psychology Ph.D. student at George Mason University. He graduated from George Mason University with a B.S. in Psychology with a concentration in Clinical Psychology and a minor in Neuroscience. Prior to joining the Clinical Psychology program, he was the project manager for the Parent-Teen Study II, which focused on the importance of Parent-Adolescent interactions in development.
Broadly speaking, his research focuses on supporting individuals with chronic illness and observing the effects of social support on physical and mental well-being. Specifically, he is interested in how critical social support is in palliative care, which is care that is concerned with improving an individual’s comfort, well-being, and functioning. At the end of the day, he wants to help people who are struggling with physical or mental pain understand that their struggles are valid and that both pain and comfort can coexist together when supportive networks are present.
