Why Is Darby Saxbe Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Darby Saxbe is a clinical psychologist and professor of psychology at the University of Southern California, who researches stress within the context of relationships. Research interests She researches stress within a close relationship context, with a focus on the transition to parenthood as a nexus of neural, hormonal, behavioral and psychological change. She has also studied hormonal linkage within couples and families, finding that partners with more strongly correlated cortisol levels report more relationship distress and that expectant couples may show linked levels of testosterone which in turn predict paternal relationship investment. She has also found that testosterone levels in new fathers are associated with both their own and their partners' postpartum depressive symptoms, and has examined sleep as another mechanism for within-couple transmission of postpartum depression risk.
