| Research Interests: |
Within the area of geropsychology, Dr. Dautovich’s research focuses on Chronopsychology, the study of how our daily activity rhythms, routines, habits, and biological rhythms influence our well-being and health. Specific research topics include the relationship between regularity in social rhythms (behavioral circadian rhythms) and sleep and mood outcomes in older adults. Dr. Dautovich is interested in the use of daily process research designs and multilevel modeling analyses to capture these relationships. Link to CV: CV_Dautovich 1-27-12 |
