Expert Bio
彼得斯的跨学科、多方法的研究项目旨在理解关系背景下的心理、认知和生理过程。 他研究了对社会压力源的反应，包括内部和外部的关系，如何影响在线生理和情感反应，以及下游决策，行为和健康结果。
He uses multiple theories to generate hypotheses, including the biopsychosocial (BPS) model of challenge and threat, the extended process model of emotion regulation, and adult attachment theory. To answer research questions, Peters rely on multiple methods, including neuroendocrine and cardiovascular physiological measures, behavioral coding, and self-reports.
He is also a strong proponent of “immersive” paradigms to study relationship processes. That is, to study how stress unfolds in romantic relationships, couples should be examined when they are actually experiencing stress. His work typically is featured in journals such as Emotion, Psychophysiology, and International Journal of Psychophysiology.
Peters is currently working on projects focused on examining co-rumination from a dyadic, interpersonal perspective and investigating the impact of COVID-19 on intimate partner violence.
