Her research focuses on adjustment of the family to illness, repeated-measures designs, and psychometrics. She is the author of two measures of interactive behaviors in the partner relationship, The Partner Relationship Inventory and The Dominance-Accommodation Scale.Professor Hoskins was Principal Investigator for a longitudinal study of psychosocial adjustment among women with breast cancer and their partners (1990-1994). The findings were used to develop a four-part instructional videotape series, Journey to Recovery: For Women with Breast Cancer and their Partners. The phase-specific content is applicable to the diagnostic, postsurgical, adjuvant therapy, and ongoing recovery periods. She is currently the Principal Investigator on phase III of the program of research, a randomized clinical trial to study the effectiveness of standardized education by videotape, telephone counseling, or a combination of the two interventions.
