Dr. Zambrotta has interests in many areas of psychology. He has worked with professional and collegiate athletes, renowned behavioral health researchers, and as part of a bar laboratory studying alcohol use and abuse in college students. In addition, he is interested in group/political polarization and how social media in particular contributes to this phenomenon. Off campus, Dr. Z enjoys fishing, playing saxophone in local bands, trying to re-live his glory days on the baseball field, staying active, coaching t-ball, and spending time with his friends and family.
