Dr. Cundiff received her doctorate in clinical psychology with an emphasis in health psychology from the University of Utah in 2014, subsequently completing two years of postdoctoral training in cardiovascular behavioral medicine at the University of Pittsburgh. Her research examines if and how our social lives contribute to poor health, and she is particularly interested in how broad social factors like socioeconomic status and race may come to influence health through differences in everyday social interactions and experiences. Much of her work has been focused specifically on biopsychosocial mechanisms (e.g., stress physiology, social interactions) linking lower social status to poor health. Her work has been funded by the American Psychological Association and Division 38 (Health Psychology).
