Dr. Robert J. Klein, PhD

Dr. Robert J. Klein is an NIH T-32 postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Technology and Behavioral Health (CTBH). Robbie has a background in wilderness therapy facilitation, and recently received his PhD in Social and Health Psychology from North Dakota State University. Robbie trained under Dr. Michael Robinson and, thus far, his work has focused on affect, emotion reactivity, cognition, and experiential acceptance. Robbie has 1) piloted new high-resolution measures of emotion reactivity designed to reveal the temporal signatures of maladaptive emotion generation systems, and 2) examined the links between traditional Buddhist teachings, acceptance, and emotion reactivity. At the CTBH, Robbie is mentored by Dr. Nicholas Jacobson and plans to focus on more applied research targeting co-occurring disorders. Robbie is interested in leveraging technology to investigate the intersection of cognition, emotion reactivity, and substance abuse disorders.
