Abstract:

Research on person-environment interplay and on the role of individual differences in environmental sensitivity has evolved and grown substantially over the last 25 years. In this talk, I describe and summarise the breadth of research on sensitivity from the past (the first 20 years), the present (the last 5 years) and the future (the coming 10 years), discussing phenotypical, genetic and physiological markers of the trait. 

Bio:

Michael Pluess is a Professor in Developmental Psychology at Queen Mary University of London. Dr. Pluess’ research focuses on the study of individual differences in sensitivity to the environment across normative and adverse contexts. He is one of the leading authors in the field of Environmental Sensitivity with specific expertise in the development and validation of sensitivity measures besides significant contributions to theories of Environmental Sensitivity. His work has been funded by NIH, Elhra, and Jacobs Foundation. He leads several research projects on sensitivity including the role of sensitivity in the school context, longitudinal investigation of stability and change in the sensitivity trait, the role of individual differences in sensitivity and the wellbeing of refugee children.
