Daniel Stokols

Daniel Stokols (born 1948)[5] is Research Professor and Chancellor's Professor Emeritus of Social Ecology in the Departments of Psychology and Social Behavior and Planning, Policy, and Design, and founding dean of the School of Social Ecology at the University of California, Irvine. He also holds appointments in Public Health, Epidemiology, and Nursing Science at UCI. His recent research has examined factors that influence the success of transdisciplinary research and training programs. Additional areas of Dr. Stokols' research include the design and evaluation of community and work site health promotion programs, the health and behavioral impacts of environmental stressors such as traffic congestion and overcrowding, and the application of environmental design research to urban planning and facilities design. Professor Stokols is past President of the Division of Environmental, Population, and Conservation Psychology[6] of the American Psychological Association (APA) and a Fellow of the APA and the Association for Psychological Science.

Education

Stokols completed his doctoral studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, in social psychology where he also took minors in Sociology, City and Regional Planning, and participated in research projects at the School of Public Health. He earned his Ph.D. in Social Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1973. He earned his B.A from the University of Chicago in 1969.

Academic positions

In 1973, Stokols joined the Program in Social Ecology at the University of California, Irvine as an Assistant Professor. From 1988-1998, Stokols served as Director of the Program in Social Ecology and founding dean of the new School of Social Ecology, which was established as the first such school of its kind by the UC Regents in 1992.[7] He is currently Research Professor and Chancellor's Professor Emeritus within the School of Social Ecology and Health Sciences at UCI.

Research

Stokols' research has addressed a number of topics spanning the fields of environmental and health psychology, urban planning, public health,[8] and the science of transdisciplinary team science. His studies of behavioral and health responses to urban stressors[9] have focused on the impacts of airport noise on children attending elementary schools under the flight path of Los Angeles International Airport,[10] and the effects of spatial density, crowding,[11][12] residential relocation[13] and rush hour automobile commuting on adult populations.[14] His research on the environmental psychology of the Internet has examined the relationships between individuals' perceptions of information overload from both place-based and cyber sources on their subjective well-being.[15][16][17] More recent areas of Stokols' research include factors that influence the resilience and sustainability of human-environment systems,[18] and circumstances that either facilitate or constrain collaborative processes and outcomes among participants in cross-disciplinary research teams.[19][20][21] He also has studied strategies for enhancing transdisciplinary training and education, and the development of students' and scholars' transdisciplinary orientation (TDO).[22] Stokols served as scientific consultant to the National Cancer Institute, Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences and as a member of NCI's Science of Team Science team between 2005-2011. He is currently a consultant for the National Academies Keck Futures Initiative[23] (NAKFI) and a member of UCI's Institute for Clinical and Translational Science[24] and the National Research Council's Committee on the Science of Team Science.[25]

Teaching

Stokols teaches graduate seminars on Principles of Social Ecology[26] and Strategies of Theory Development.[27] He teaches the Environmental Psychology course at UCI, also available online at iTunes. U.[28][29] Stokols serves as faculty advisor for doctoral and master's degree students within the School of Social Ecology, the Program in Public Health, and the M.D.-Ph.D. Program at UC Irvine.
