Biography

Peters' interdisciplinary, multi-method program of research seeks to understand psychological, cognitive, and physiological processes in relationship contexts. He examines how responses to social stressors, both internal and external to the relationship, influence online physiological and affective responses, and downstream decisions, behaviors and health outcomes.

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 鈥渋mmersive鈥 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.

Research

Dr. Peters鈥 research focuses on stress and psychophysiology in social relationships. He is particularly interested in using the biopsychosocial model of challenge and threat to help elucidate the underlying mechanisms of stress and affective processes on physiological outcomes in romantic relationships.

Dr. Peters is currently accepting new Ph.D. students.
