Justin Carré is a full-time Professor in the Department of Psychology within the Faculty of Arts and Science at Nipissing University, where he also serves as Graduate Program Faculty. His research integrates social psychology with biological mechanisms to examine human behavior.
His educational qualifications include:
- BA from Canisius College
- MSc from Canisius College
- MA from Brock University
- PhD from Brock University
Dr. Carré specializes in Social Neuroendocrinology and Social Perception, investigating how testosterone fluctuations influence competitive and aggressive behaviors. His work demonstrates that winning competitions elevates testosterone levels while losing suppresses them, with these hormonal shifts predicting subsequent aggression. He also explores how facial structure—particularly width-to-height ratios—correlates with aggressive tendencies and social perceptions, revealing stronger effects among low-status individuals. His Laboratory of Social Neuroendocrinology employs interdisciplinary methods from psychology, endocrinology, and neuroscience.
Analysis of his 2008-2013 publications shows consistent focus on testosterone-aggression links in competitive contexts (including hockey), facial morphology's behavioral implications, and neural correlates of psychopathy. His research uniquely bridges laboratory experiments with real-world sports settings.
Scientific awards: No major awards or fellowships are documented in available sources.
Dr. Carré mentors graduate students including SMM Goetz, KS Shattuck, and KM Welker, with co-authored publications spanning facial structure research and neuroendocrine responses. His work is supported through the Laboratory of Social Neuroendocrinology.
He directs the Laboratory of Social Neuroendocrinology, which utilizes hormonal assays, behavioral experiments, and neuroimaging to investigate biological-social interactions in aggression and competition, maintaining active research in testosterone dynamics and facial perception mechanisms.
