معرفی
Susan E. Gans is a Professor of Psychology at West Chester University. Her research focuses on stress hormone responses and sleep patterns during critical life transitions, particularly the college transition period in emerging adults. She investigates how parental influences shape physiological responses to stress and examines the psychobiological mechanisms underlying adaptation to new environments.
Her research interests center on:
- Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis activity
- Sleep-cortisol relationships during transitions
- Family influence on physiological responses
- Developmental psychobiology
Her publications examine college adjustment patterns, emotional coping mechanisms, and longitudinal changes in cortisol secretion. Research consistently explores connections between family functioning, stress physiology, and psychological outcomes during transitional periods.
