Research InterestsDr. Cranmer has three ongoing programs of research. First, he seeks to understand how groups (i.e., sports teams and traditional organizations) can function more efficiently. He is primarily concerned with the organizational processes that encompass individuals' socialization (i.e., adjustment to tasks and roles), the exchange of social and organizational resources, and the fostering of human development. Second, he considers the efficacy of concussion interventions and the role of health referents in the reporting of concussion symptoms. Third, he explores how external stakeholders make sense of and respond to the policies and practices of sports organizations and leagues.
