معرفی
Dr. Ann F. Haynos is an Assistant Professor in the Clinical Psychology department at Virginia Commonwealth University, where she conducts research on restrictive eating disorders and mechanisms of goal pursuit leading to harmful health outcomes. Her work integrates neuroscience and clinical science through a bench-to-bedside approach.
- Ph.D., University of Nevada, Reno (2015)
Her research focuses on decision-making mechanisms (e.g., reward processing, cognitive control) in eating disorders, particularly anorexia nervosa, and explores interventions to disrupt rigid goal pursuit patterns. She employs neuroimaging, ecological momentary assessment, and computational modeling to achieve mechanistic insights.
Recent publications highlight trends in neuroimaging applications, emotion regulation frameworks, and virtual interventions for eating disorders. Her work spans neurocognitive heterogeneity, reward responsivity, and sociocultural influences on body dissatisfaction.
