Phillips will discuss how we define, develop, and measure habits, particularly health-related habits like medication adherence and regular exercise. She will also discuss consumer habits, such as brand loyalty, and risky habits, such as smoking or gambling. Phillips earned her PhD in social psychology from Rutgers University and was an assistant professor at George Washington University before joining the faculty at Iowa State. She studies doctor-patient communication, patients' perceptions of chronic illness, patient self-management of chronic illness, and healthy habit development.
