Research Interests

Dr. Munion’s research is focused in the integration of dynamical systems theory with quantitative methods. Their quantitative interests focus on the furthering of measurement theory and missing data management when working with multivariate, longitudinal data.  Their applied work has focused on modeling coupling and coordination in health contexts (depression, type one diabetes, pain, etc.) and social support (romantic relationships and family systems).
