Dr. Compton specializes in social psychology and demography. While these fields may seem unrelated, Compton’s research utilizes both perspectives to examine interpersonal relationships, family organization, and research methodologies. Their work deepens our knowledge about how categorization or labeling processes yield different outcomes in treatment and resources.

Compton’s research has found categorization and labeling processes have profound implications for the allocation of treatment and resources across social contexts. By examining the intersections of individual characteristics, social networks, legal structures, and broader societal factors, their work reveals how expectations and behaviors are shaped—offering critical insights with direct implications for policy development. Additionally, Compton is interested in research design and methodological issues, particularly how variations in measurement can lead to different inferences.
