Research at Derner School of Psychology
Research is central to Derner’s identity as an empirically informed school of psychology.
It has been that way since the Gordon F. Derner School of Psychology was founded in 1972 as the first university-based school of psychology in the United States. Our faculty has long distinguished itself for its contributions to the field as well as for its commitment to inspiring students and preparing them to join the ranks of researchers.
Research Highlights
Rethinking Adult Social Relationships
Associate Dean Katherine Fiori, PhD, Gordon F. Derner School of Psychology, talks about her research, aimed at understanding how adults can best “lead a happy, healthy life.” They need not just close family ties, she said, but also so-called “weak ties” that present stimulation and “novel opportunities” for social interaction.
