Dr. Amy Canevello is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychological Science at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. She is also affiliated with the Health Psychology Ph.D. Program and the Organizational Science Ph.D. Program. Her research focuses on understanding how interpersonal goals—specifically compassionate versus self-image goals—shape relationships and well-being. Dr. Canevello holds a B.S. from North Dakota State University, an M.A. from the University of Houston, and a Ph.D. from the University of Houston. Her work examines how compassionate goals foster supportive relationships and enhance personal well-being, while self-image goals lead to poorer relational and psychological outcomes. She investigates these dynamics across diverse relationships, including romantic partnerships, friendships, and even interactions between strangers. Her recent research explores how compassionate goals influence responses to adversity, such as post-traumatic growth, forgiveness, and resilience. She has contributed to theoretical frameworks like the "egosystem vs. ecosystem" model, which distinguishes self-focused versus relationship-focused motivations. Dr. Canevello’s lab focuses on training student researchers. Requirements for lab positions include a minimum 3.2 GPA, sophomore standing, and completion of research methods coursework. Lab activities involve data collection, often with couples, and operate between 9 AM–5 PM, Monday–Friday. She emphasizes structured schedules and collaboration. Her work has implications for improving interpersonal interactions, mental health interventions, and understanding trauma recovery. She collaborates on studies comparing trauma outcomes across cultures, such as between French and American firefighters.
