Rick H. Hoyle

Associate Director, Center for Child and Family Policy
Professor in Psychology

Rick Hoyle's research program is primarily focused on the investigation of basic cognitive, affective, and social processes relevant to self-regulation. This research program comprises two streams. One primarily involves controlled laboratory experiments and focuses on the psychological resources that allow for successful self-regulation. The other primarily involves correlational and field research and focuses on personality and social variables associated with failures of self-regulation as they manifest in problem behavior.

A secondary focus of his research program is applied quantitative methods. Currently, this work is focused on the application of latent variable models to the study of partialed effects. He is developing an approach to modeling partialed variables in such a way that they can be independently validated, a critical evaluation that, to date, has not been possible.
