Dr. Goodboy is quantitative scholar with an interest in applications of structural equation modeling for communication science. He has completed over 700 hours of postdoctoral coursework in statistics. Most recently, he has been interested in testing communication theory using person-centered methods (latent class analysis, latent profile analysis, latent transition analysis) and intensive longitudinal methods (dynamic structural equation modeling). As an instructional communication scholar, he regularly conducts teaching and learning experiments. As an interpersonal communication scholar, he is completing a series of studies on relational turbulence in marriages. Dr. Goodboy also collaborates on medical communication projects with surgery colleagues at WVU focusing on medical simulations and assessments.
