Psychology research, by faculty member


Dr. Gregory Privitera, Researching Health Psychology

My research focuses on the global sociopsychological, policy, economic, and clinical impact of obesity and mental health on managing efficiencies for diagnosis, treatment, and cost of health outcomes and in healthcare settings. 我的研究项目整合了方法论学科,重点是对健康和医疗从业者的结果和影响, which has produced multiple papers to examine

  1. correlated and causal sociopsychological factors related to mental health, obesity, and health literacy,
  2. the impact of diagnostic, appetitive and built environment cues on clinical and consumer health outcomes,
  3. the utility of strategic analytics to drive value in healthcare for patients, and
  4. the examination of innovations, AI, and incentive models for care.

In all, my interdisciplinary program of research is highly collaborative. 跨学科的重点使我的整个研究项目充满活力和实践,可以监督圣何塞大学的各种本科教师指导的研究项目. Bonaventure University across psychological disciplines and interests. Overall, 我的理念是发展一个强大的研究项目,这个项目是高度协作和有影响力的, yet accessible to undergraduate student researchers.

Dr. Robin Valeri, Researching Hate, Extremism, and Cyberhate

Have you ever tried to convince someone to become your friend, go on a date with you, change their political opinion, or take action in support of their beliefs? 你用来影响自己或他人的策略都是社会影响策略,也是仇恨和极端主义团体用来将他们的想法传播到主流的策略, gain new recruits, and inspire others to action. 我的研究考察了仇恨和极端主义团体用来影响他人的策略和行动,以便我们能够更好地保护自己和社会免受他们的侵害, promote respect, 甚至说服那些讨厌的人改变他们的观点,让他们变得宽容和接受.

我和我的学生们对与仇恨和极端主义有关的各种主题进行了定性和定量研究. 我们的研究已在地区和国家会议上发表,并在同行评议的期刊上发表.

Research questions include:

  1. Why do people hate?
  2. What are the beliefs and motivations of the various hate and extremist groups?
  3. How or why does someone adopt an ideology of hate?
  4. 是什么迫使一个团体或个人采取行动来支持他们的信仰和意识形态?
  5. 网络空间在煽动仇恨和极端主义、煽动暴力方面发挥了什么作用?
  6. How and why does someone stop hating and leave a hate or extremist group?
  7. What role can or does cyberspace play in combatting hate and extremism?
  8. 作为个人,我们能做些什么来阻止仇恨,防止某人接受极端主义信仰?

Dr. Stephanie Vogel, Researching Narcissism

我的研究项目着眼于人格——特别是自恋的特征和色情癖/色情恐惧症的维度.

  1. Narcissism:  Narcissism is basically love of one’s self taken to the extreme. 我的研究旨在确定不同程度的自恋如何影响我们对事物的行为和感受. For example – If you are narcissistic, are you attracted to other narcissists or do you want someone who will worship you? Will a narcissist forgive you if you make a mistake (either perceived or real)?
     
  2. Erotophilia/erotophobia:  I also do research on the personality dimension of erotophilia/erotophobia, which is not a well-known term. This dimension is essentially how comfortable a person is with sexually-related stimuli. So for example, does one’s personality affect how much he or she believes in the sexual double standard? 色情恐惧症的程度会影响这个人在陪审团审理强奸案时的表现吗? 一个人的个性是否会影响他或她对性相关信息的关注和反应程度.e. sex words or pictures) in the environment?
