Andrew's research focuses on two domains within computer-mediated communication: 1) How do various media technologies shape interpersonal communication processes? 2) What types of online interactions afforded by media technologies may harm or enhance one's psychological well-being?
Andrew received his B.Sc. in Communication Arts and Science and Journalism and Mass Communication from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2021. He then graduated with his M.A. in Communication from Michigan State University in 2024. His work is concerned with the impact of new media technologies—including social networking sites, video games, and AI—on interpersonal communication processes and psychological well-being. More specifically, his research focuses on how new communication technologies reshape interpersonal communication processes, such as conflict episodes, social support, relational maintenance, and termination. He is also interested in how various types of online communication behaviors—such as self-presentation, commenting, liking, and types of interaction afforded by new media technologies—impact one's psychological well-being.
