Dr. Kuan-Hua Chen at the University of Nebraska Medical Center has completed multiple dyadic psychophysiological studies on married couples in the laboratory and real world. He found that dyadic psychophysiology provides a unique window into couple’s socioemotional processes, quality of relationship, and health. He will share his insights on the basic principles of studying dyadic psychophysiology in the laboratory and real-world settings. Dr. Chen completed his postdoc under Dr. Bob Levenson at UC Berkeley where he studied dyadic physiology in long-term married couples. Specifically, how synchrony in psychophysiology predicts relationship quality and health. Dr. Chen extended his research to look at how this synchrony in psychophysiology will change between dementia patients and their caregivers and how these changes affect the health and caliber of the patient.
