Janine M. Dutcher, Ph.D.

I am a Senior Research Scientist (Special Faculty) in Psychology and the Lab Director for the Health & Human Performance Lab at Carnegie Mellon University.

My research seeks to understand how positive interventions and experiences (e.g., self-affirmation, mindfulness meditation, social support) may lead to reductions in threat and stress responding. I use multiple methods, including neuroimaging and psychoneuroimmunology, to explore how these processes have effects on physical health and well-being, with the ultimate goal of finding ways to help individuals build resilience.

I received my B.S. in Psychology from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA in 2010 and my Ph.D. in Psychology from UCLA in 2016.
