Cynthia Pury is trained as a clinical psychologist specializing in anxiety disorders. Her research interests began in the area of cognition and fear, specifically threat appraisals. In 2003, she began to wonder about a different way of coping with threat: courage. Her research in courage has more recently led me to think about accolades for both courage and for virtue in general, and situational affordances for virtuous behavior.
