Camelia Hostinar
Department of Psychology and Center for Poverty & Inequality
Research
Hostinar’s research focuses on understanding how the life
experiences of children and adolescents shape their reactions to
stress and their health. Her research examines how supportive
social relationships reduce the effects of stress on health and
may promote healthier biological profiles across development. The
fellowship will fund new research directions on stress detection
using wearable devices. The long-term vision for this research is
to suggest strategies and inform interventions that would reduce
the impact of stress on developmental outcomes, especially for
disadvantaged youth who too often confront several types of
stressors in their lives.
