Biography

Emily A. Dowgwillo earned her Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Pennsylvania State University. Dowgwillo joined the 91´«Ã½ in 2020 after completing her clinical internship at Massachusetts General Hospital. She teaches psychology to undergraduate and graduate students and has been appointed the associate director of the psychology clinic. 

Dowgwillo's program of research examines the between and within personal assessment of co-occurring personality dysfunction, psychopathology and interpersonal dynamics in daily life, with the ultimate goal of identifying person specific interventions that can be administered in the moment using smartphone technology. In pursuing these research domains, she relies on intensive longitudinal data (e.g. using ecological momentary assessments), utilizes advanced quantitative methods such as multilevel models, parallel process growth curve models, structural equation models and person-specific (i.e. idiographic) models.  Her research hopes to answer three questions:

  1. How can transdiagnostic dimensional models of personality and psychopathology aid our understanding and treatment of the clinical manifestations of a broad range of psychological symptoms?
  2. How do our perceptions of ourselves and other people influence our emotions, psychological symptoms, and behavior in our daily life to create our experience?
  3. How can advances in technology help us to capture and intervene in person specific and intrapersonal dynamics over different periods of time?
