Dr. Zinbarg's interests are in the cognitive and affective bases of psychopathology and personality. His research focuses primarily on risk factors for the development of anxiety disorders. His theoretical and empirical work suggests that individual differences in the processing of emotional stimuli and perceptions of controllability and predictability play important roles in the etiology and maintenance of the anxiety disorders. Another interest of Dr. Zinbarg is the investigation of the underlying mechanisms of action involved in the reduction of intense anxiety states.
