Nate Phillips

Graduate Student, Clinical Program

Nate (he/him) is a third-year graduate student in the Clinical Psychology PhD program at the University of Georgia. His research focuses on the empirical, multimodal integration of personality and psychopathology, with a specific emphasis on symptoms housed within the externalizing psychopathology spectrum (e.g., aggression, rule-breaking, substance use). Recent projects include assessing important correlates (e.g., brain structure, markers of physical strength) of externalizing-related traits and merging nomothetic and idiographic approaches to examine externalizing-related psychological processes. Additionally, he is a strong supporter of open science practices and is deeply interested in questions related to meta-science and the philosophy of science. In his free time, Nate enjoys playing and watching soccer, running, hiking, and watching TV.

Research Interests:

I am interested in understanding how individual and dyadic processes influence the intergenerational transmission of psychopathology symptoms in parents and children. Using a multi-methodological and dynamic-systems approach, I examine the role of parenting behaviors and parent-child coregulatory patterns to identify ways to promote youth socioemotional functioning and self-regulation development.
