WHO WE ARE

PSYCHOBIOLOGY LAB STAFF

DR. JENNIFER BYRD-CRAVEN

LAB DIRECTOR

JENNIFER.BYRD.CRAVEN@OKSTATE.EDU

Dr. Byrd-Craven received her Ph.D. in 2007 from the University of Missouri. She
joined the OSU Psychology Department in the fall of 2007. Her primary research
interest is the impact of social dynamics on the activity of the stress response
and associated systems systems. Current research projects focus on: 1) patterns
of father involvement that impact the mother-infant and family biorhythm; 2) the
influence of female friendship interactions on stress and immune system
reactivity; and 3) sex differences in response to stress and early adversity.
Evolutionary theory is used as a framework for understanding the interaction
between biology and social dynamics, with a particular focus on female
sociality. See her full CV here.
