Cheryl Carmichael joined the Brooklyn College faculty as a lecturer in 2011, and as an assistant professor in 2012. She studies close relationships, health, and the social regulation of emotions. She's a member of the Basic and Applied Social Psychology, and the Health Psychology and Clinical Sciences doctoral training areas at the CUNY Graduate Center.
Education:
Ph.D., University of Rochester - 2011 (Social-Personality Psychology)
M.A., University of Rochester - 2005 (Psychology)
B.S., Northeastern University - 2001 (Psychology)
Areas of Expertise:
Carmichael's research aims to better understand the ways in which social interactions between close relationship partners impact health and well-being. She examines how relationship processes (such as sharing positive news and providing social support) impact physical health and emotional adjustment. These processes are examined in the lab, and in the natural ebb and flow of daily life.
