About Us
The Psychosocial Processes and Health Lab (PPHL) is housed within the Department of Kinesiology and Health in the School of Arts and Sciences at Rutgers University – New Brunswick. The lab is directed by Dr. Anthony G. Delli Paoli. The lab aims to understand how physical activity and health-related factors impact social cognitive and affective processes in social relationships. We are specifically interested in how social relationships may impact health-related outcomes throughout development. Our work uses an interdisciplinary approach drawing from the fields of kinesiology, psychology, human development, and neuroscience.
