Richard B. Slatcher
received his Ph.D. in social and personality psychology from the University of
Texas at Austin in 2007. After completing an NIMH postdoctoral fellowship in
health psychology at UCLA, he joined the faculty of the Department of
Psychology at Wayne State University, where he is an Associate Professor.
Understanding close relationships (e.g., marital relationships, parent-child
relationships) and their impact on health and well-being is the focus of his
research. He uses a variety of research methodologies (structured laboratory
experiments, group interactions, daily diary studies, and behavioral
observation), and statistical methods (multilevel modeling, structural equation
modeling, dyadic data analysis, and meta-analysis) in his work. His research
has been supported by more than $10 million in federal and foundation grant
support and he has published more than 40 articles and book chapters. He serves
on the editorial boards of several journals and his work has been published in
many of the top journals in the field, including Science, Psychological
Science, and Psychological Bulletin. In addition to his research and
teaching, he chairs a transdisciplinary group of more than 50 faculty across 20
departments at Wayne State: Researchers of Biobehavioral health in Urban
Settings Today (RoBUST).
