本人研究方向为健康心理学和生理心理学，重点关注社会隔离(social isolation)和孤独感(loneliness)对身心健康的影响。孤独感和社会隔离反映了社会联结的缺陷，会增加身体(例如心血管疾病)和心理(例如抑郁症和自杀)健康问题的风险。为了应对孤独感和社会隔离造成的全球影响，世界卫生组织于2024年成立了社会联结咨询专家组(Technical Advisory Group on Social Connection，TAG-SC)，本人是中国大陆地区唯一入选该专家组的成员(https://www.who.int/groups/technical-advisory-group-on-social-connection-(tag-sc)/members）。
我们课题组已通过一系列研究探讨了社会隔离和孤独感对中国人群认知功能、心理健康、躯体功能、睡眠质量以及死亡率的影响，研究成果得到国际同行的关注和肯定。我们的研究方法包括人群研究和实验室实验。课题组已经毕业的硕士研究生中，每届都有同学以第一作者身份发表高水平SCI论文。欢迎对健康心理学感兴趣，喜欢科研挑战的同学加入。
