Buss, Ph.D., is a Professor of Psychology at the Pennsylvania State University. She received her B.S. in Child Development at the University of Minnesota and her M.S. and Ph.D. in psychology from University of Wisconsin. She is interested in emotional development and temperamental variation from birth through early adolescence. Her work spans multiple areas of research within social development, psychobiology, and neuroscience.
