Dr. Jean-Philippe Gouin is a Professor of Psychology at Concordia University and director of the Stress, Interpersonal Relationships, and Health (SIRH) Laboratory. He previously held the Canada Research Chair in Chronic Stress and Health. His research focuses on stress, depression, insomnia, social support, and dyadic coping, with an emphasis on psychoneuroendocrinology and psychoneuroimmunology. He is currently on sabbatical.
Education: PhD in Psychology from The Ohio State University.
Research interests include the physiological and psychological mechanisms linking stress to health outcomes, with a focus on inflammation, social relationships, and aging. His work explores how interpersonal dynamics (e.g., marital quality, attachment style) moderate stress-related health risks. Recent studies investigate the role of self-compassion, oxytocin genetics, and epigenetic factors in health resilience.
Publications highlight themes like stress biomarkers (e.g., cortisol, heart rate variability), immune dysregulation in caregiving roles, and sleep disturbances linked to chronic stress. Articles emphasize interdisciplinary approaches, bridging psychology, neuroscience, and genetics.
