Lab Director
Jeewon Oh
Hi! I’m Jeewon, the lab director, and I am a social-personality psychologist and relationship researchers who takes a lifespan development perspective to study the good life. Recently, I saw sparkles in students’ eyes the first day of class and that was a pure moment of joy and happiness (hopefully it stays throughout the semester)!
I received my B.A. in Biopsychology, Cognition, and Neuroscience from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and my M.A. and Ph.D. from Michigan State University. I am an Assistant Professor of Psychology in the Social area at Syracuse University.
