Research InterestsDr. Cranmer's research focuses on how interpersonal relationships uniquely function within task-oriented groups and come to define how we play, work, and flourish. This research focuses on the role of various communicative message strategies and behaviors (e.g., confirmation, social support, memorable messages, narrative appeals) within common social processes (e.g., team/cohesion building, socialization, injury disclosure, relational development). The implications of his work provide development, meaningful connections and enhanced well-being, as well as optimize the functioning of groups and organizations.
