David Moore

David Moore serves as Professor of Psychology at the University of Puget Sound, conducting active research on adolescent/adult development, romantic relationships, and teen parenting with current focus on human-AI relationship dynamics. He teaches core courses including The Psychology of Romantic Relationships (PSYC 374) and Developmental Psychology: Adolescence through End of Life (PSYC 221).

His educational qualifications include:

• BA from Wheaton College (1993)
• MS from University of Utah (1998)
• PhD from University of Utah (2001)

Moore's research program centers on romantic relationship communication patterns and their impact on satisfaction, stability, and health outcomes. Current investigations examine human-AI partnerships through comparative analysis of social support systems and relationship longevity. Additional expertise spans demand-withdraw interaction cycles in intimacy, rejection sensitivity across personality types, and adolescent parenthood transitions, informed by his clinical work in interpersonal and mindfulness-based psychotherapy.

Publication analysis reveals consistent focus on developmental transitions in young adulthood, particularly examining paternal experiences in unwed parenthood (2020) and adolescent relationship health markers like substance abuse correlations (2008). His scholarly approach integrates interpersonal process models with developmental frameworks across all research domains.
