Her primary research interests relate to cultural psychology and specifically focus on how the interaction of culture and power affects people’s social behavior and thinking as well as their attitudes toward a variety of social policies, such as human rights.
Dr. Cathey also conducts research on the scholarship of teaching. She has published several articles and given numerous conference presentations on how to use advances in technology to enhance traditional, seated classes.
