2 Although my primary duty for the past decade has been to lead an academic unit, I have continued the funded research work I began two decades ago. Combining my expertise in consumer decision-making and my personal interests, I draw research questions from real-life issues with a goal to further both theoretical understanding and practical implications. For instance, during a citrus farm tour in Yuma, Arizona, when I learned that Japan was the leading export country for U.S. agricultural industry, I developed a research program, funded by the USDA, to help U.S. exporters understand the attitudes and behaviors of Japanese consumers and suppliers of fruits and vegetables. More recently, in the wake of the recent economic downturn, I became interested in the financial development processes of young people. Thus, my colleagues and I launched a longitudinal study we call Arizona Pathways to Life Success for University Students (APLUS). The study will span a decade or more and will survey groups of young adults as they pass through a series of milestone life events. APLUS will ultimately help us understand the financial processes by which young adults develop financial attitudes and behaviors knowledge that will serve as a crucial first step toward learning how to better prepare our youth to succeed financially and achieve lasting happiness (for more information about APLUS, click here: Current Project Co-Investigator (Wave 3) & Principal Investigator (Wave 1, 1.5, & 2), Arizona Pathways for Life Success for University Students (APLUS).
