Dr.
Dixon is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Division of
Substance Abuse and Addiction Research Center, Department
of Psychiatry. He holds the Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology
from Michigan State University. His dissertation examined
the causal relationship between attitudes that reflect resilience
and coping behaviors among a population of at-risk and not-at-risk
African American College students, and the moderating role
of select psychosocial and cultural factors in this relationship.
Dr. Dixon's current research interests include investigating
the role of religion, spirituality, religious / spiritual
coping, and culturally-salient folk values and beliefs in
the treatment and recovery process among African American
children, adolescents and young adults who present with alcoholism
risk as well as problems in adjustment and related mental
health challenges (e.g., history of trauma). He is also interested
in identifying and studying resilience in this population
and the factors that protect against the development of alcoholism
(e.g. cognitive and behavioral elements of functioning such
as attitude, motivation, and resourcefulness, etc.). |
